AkiBa Metal Slider Series for Samsung Galaxy S2 - Galaxy S II Accessories

I recently came across this brand while looking for a case, brand is AkiBa. They are made in Taiwan so I believe quality and fitment will be quite good. Its a slider type case so no screws to fasten the case. I believe they go for $59USD, I'm still trying to find a shop that ships to Canada.
What do you think of this case?

looks tough! although i don't think it provides any shock absorbing capacities

Lots of pictures of the case here, as a review :

If anyone ever finds a way to order them please share.

Yes please post a way to order them

case is a variant of "sweet armor". I did a basic search "sweet armor s2" and i got lots of results. it's not the slider version but the screw version. try searching for it. one of them leads to this : http://english.gmarket.co.kr/challenge/neo_goods/goods.asp?goodscode=216196087

Doesn't 60 USD sound a little expensive for a bumper?

Which color do you guys think look best on a black S2? I'm think about getting black and chrome if I can ever find out where to order!!

Looks a litle bit like the one from Taurus, but the Taurus one looks better.

But it's nice, too :-D

Since the antennas are in the bottom of the phone and it's covered by metal I would be concerned that it would degrade signal quality.

I think the taurus metal case is too bulky. this one is slim
As with all metal cases, they will degrade signal quality, but only a little.
I think I'm in love with the black one lol

I was very tempted to buy the taurus case, but then I saw this thread. Now I cant decide, plus I cant find these on ebay. Could anyone, if its possible, share a link to buy one of these ? For EU.

father is going to Taiwan in a few days...might ask if he can have a look for these cases especially...if so, try to get a few and ship to people around New Zealand and/or Australia...?

Nice people here on the XDA forum! I'm looking into where I can purchase these as well and will help my fellow Canadians too if they want to pick up this case.

nice looking
but:
1. it will be difficult to access buttons, since they already thin
2. expencive

Hmmm....it looks good but I think it is not very handy to use a metal cover.
I love my silicone cover. It protects my phone and when I put it on a slippery surface it stays on it's place, I like that!
Also I think a metal cover will soon look less good because of the scratches on it!
When Your phone falls on a floor of stone it wont protect your phone, I think it will bring even more damaging risc.

i think i may buy this one:
http://english.gmarket.co.kr/challe...01&pos_class_kind=T&keyword_order=sweet+armor
but dont know which color yet, but the price is quite expenisve like all other metal case =/
will it fit a zenis dock thought?

Taurus much more aggressive...

One thing I hate about the sweet armor case is they still have the 'hole' for their Korean version TV antenna. It looks bulkier than the AkiBa too!
I think I found the sources for this cases! I will go ahead and order black and chrome for myself!

Would be great to write small review.

I'd prefer my device to be cushioned on the inside rather than the outside. Thats my personal preference I guess.
I bought 2 cases like this, one just like this one, and another black and blue.
i will leave feedback when they are received and post pictures if no one does until then.
EDIT : can´t post a picture because i am noob, the case is the rugded one the OP ask for.

really??? Check out all these cases. I have some for multiple devices, and they're the best. Soft on the inside cushion your device, and the hard exterior allows for easy sliding in and out of your phone from your pocket.

Those are just the ones I picked up in 45 seconds. I'd imagine since CM and Otterbox do it, it must not be such a bad idea .
regardless, I imagine it's all about likes. I personally like my phone to be cushioned inside a case, rather than pressed up against hard plastic. If you like it the other way around, thats fine. It's all about choice I used those CM ones for my blackberries for a while. I got some for my iphones and for my SGSII. I can honestly say that I've never broken a phone inside one of those cases So why knock something that's just working the way it is!
Take care!

Actually it seems far more logical to me.
In case of a drop I could care less if the case cracks but the phone remains unscathed...if anything it means that the case has done it's job.
EDIT: After seeing the video of the more rugged looking one I went for it. I could see it being pretty nice for situations when I will be out and about on paved or concrete surfaces. It seems to have the silicone inside with a hard case exterior except at the corners where it is just extra thick with silicone.

Boxwave Unicolor Case - Review with Pictures

I haven't seen much about this case on the forums. I thought people might enjoy a review of another option. This is the the Boxwave Unicolor in frosted white that I received from Amazon.
You can purchase the case for 16.95 with free shipping.
Boxwave.com
Amazon.com
The case is made of two different materials. The rim/bumper is made of a gloss TPU material. This is the what constitutes the color (frosted white) of the case. It does wrap the front of the phone, creating the lip for lay flat/facedown protection. The back is made of "see through" matte hard plastic. The pictures on the website are kind of deceiving as far as the back appears. It's doesn't seem as see through as it actually is. Hopefully the pictures I put up are a better representation of this. I actually like the effect, the hyperskin of the back door shows through and from straight on it almost looks as if there is no back cover at all. The hard plastic is thick and rigid enough to expect good protection.
I am using a Verizon LTE Galaxy Nexus and it fits very well with the standard battery door. The case does not add much thickness to the phone in my opinion. It is actually much tougher (but not too tough) to remove than other standard tpu cases, which I think lends credence as to how well this case fits. All of the cutouts are spot on. In regards to using this case with an extended battery door you will notice a squishy feeling on the bottom third of the sides, but the the lip of the case still wraps around the screen. I'm personally using the standard battery door with the extended battery and it fits in the case perfectly.
I do feel that the case is of good quality and will protect the phone as well and perhaps better than a diztronic or cruzer tpus case due to the hard plastic back. The buttons are standard tpu feel and are fairly easy to press, and to me are easy to find by touch. I personally like my buttons to be covered due to wear that I've had on previous phones where the buttons were exposed.
Overall I think the case is a nice option and something a little different than the cases that have been reviewed here already. The only real complaint I may have is the seam around the edge of the phone on the TPU, but thats fairly standard among these types of cases. It may be a bit over priced at 16.95 but I'm not regretting the purchase. Please ask questions, I'll try my best to answer them.

Updated op with pictures.
are the buttons easily depressed? I had a commuter and was terrible.
I've never used the commuter so i can't really compare, but I personally don't have any trouble pressing the buttons. The definitely aren't as nice as the naked button, but feel good enough for me.

Tons of those on eBay, search for "one x cover s line". I've ordered 3 different cases, all hard. Don't really like those silicone ones..
I always buy gel cases, the silicone ones are a nightmare for collecting dust and fluff.
I would not have a hard case, as it gives no shock protection when you drop the phone, it does not absorb some of the impact as gel or silicone does.

Just checked it out, and yes it is thick enough to NOT let the camera touch anything when its back is on a desk or whatever.
I have the exact same case on my galaxy nexus. It is pretty good for the price. However, im passing on this one since it doesnt protect the camera part.

iLuv S3 layover clear case (PICTURES)

I am still awaiting my phone but now have all my accessories. My iLuv layover "white" case came in today. I was really interested in it when I first saw it, but there were very little pictures to go by so I thought I would take some pictures that gave a better idea. Until I get a phone to put in it, I figured this was all I could really do. I will update once I get my phone (waiting for it from Best buy/verizon) and can take more detailed pictures.
I wasn't sure how they could get away with charging $12 for shipping. After seeing the box it came, which could have also fit a pair of nike running shoes, I now understand why! This could have easily been shipped in a padded envelope and would have cut down on the cost!

FIFY...
I was sitting around and thinking to myself...."I paid a lot for this case. it is pretty slick and want to keep it looking nice."
I got the xtremeguard full skins on the 75% off deal. (I got 4 actually). at the price I got them for, I figured it wouldn't matter if I wasted one. So, I installed a back protector on the iluv case for a little extra grip and in hopes to keep it looking good. so far it is sticking pretty good. if it sticks, I may keep it on, if not...ehh oh well. I'll take some more picts of that tomorrow if it stays looking good.
that looks like a cover that goes a bit further on the top and bottom, perhaps allowing for a bit more protection. seems nice
is this case available in Europe?

OP, are you using this case on a white or blue S3? I would love to see what it looks on a blue S3.
It looks great. I would like to see it on the phone first. Seems like it doesn't cover the top or bottom of the phone in front.

Case itself looks nice. It would have been better it's a clear hard case. Still looking good.

Wrong IMO. I stayed away from totally clear for one reason. Clear cases look nice at first. Then after months of sliding around on the contact points, those points become scratched. Now you have part of the case that looks nice and the rest which is all scratched and appears dirty.
my opinion.

OP, are you using this case on a white or blue S3? I would love to see what it looks on a blue S3.

I'm using the white. I think it would looks pretty slick on the blue to be honest!

Mine just arrived. Here it is on a Pebble Blue S III. I will be exchanging the phone for a white one, but I wanted to post pics for anyone interested in this case with a blue phone.
The case feel very nice and is nice and slim. It also wraps around the corners just enough to provide decent protection. There's no lip to really speak of on the front so the case won't protect your phone if you leave it faced down. That's either a positive or a negative depending on how you like your cases.
Anyhow, here are the pics. Enjoy.

I found something similar for about $10 shipped, will post pics once it arrives

So I took a look at the cases available...

My god they are ****.
What are some cases to don't suck ****?
I got two for mine, one from PDAir, which is a belt/clip case, and one from tuff as nuts, which is a belt case. The tuff as nuts is great for me because you actually slip it onto the belt - no way it can come off.
Both are leather and excellent quality.

The pdair was through Amazon. Tuff as nuts has their own site.

Could you be more specific about what kind of cases you think suck and which kind of cases you think don't suck?

I switch my cases quite a bit. the best for me imo are the Nillkin brand from china. they look very chic and nice. I have the white leather with front screen protector. I had dropped a few of my phones and damaged the screens due to no front protection. Yeah any case will protect majority of the phone, but not the most important part...the screen. ever since I started using thin hybrid covers, never had a broke screen again. The cover I have is thin without the bulk and yet very nice. I get compliments and others want the same for their model phones. Check them out. you can buy almost anywhere ...ebay, amazon. I buy off ebay all the time. even though most come from china, it takes less than two weeks to arrive.

I have to agree with this...
I preordered the HTC One and I have yet to see any cases that I really like. I've kind of settled with the Diztronic Matte case and an aluminum Devilcase bumper. I mean they get the job done as I just need a case that is sturdy enough to take a drop every so often but still be thin/lightweight.
I have to say this is one of my main gripes about the phone... the case selection. (especially compared to like an iPhone)
Received yesterday this one, the Ballistic Aspira in black-lime.
Adds a little more bulk to the One but if you have fear of dropping it accidentally this may be damping well.
Found for 14€ on ebay.
I bought a Body Glove DropSuit and a commuter series otterbox for my htc one. I pretty much use the otterbox all the time, but if I didn't have it, I wouldn't mind the dropsuit. It has easy nice grips and is pretty rugged. I'm not quite sure what kind of bells and whistles you're looking for, but I wanted something that didn't add much size to the phone and would protect it when i drop it.

I'm partial to the BadassCase! Here is mine, needs to be cleaned for sure, but this is after about 5-6 months use.
This is what i use. love it

Wow, I haven't post here in years.
Here is the case that I find looks the best:
ebay /itm/290979521108
It follows the design of the back of the phone itself and is really thin. It may not offer much in drop protection, but if you're looking to for something sleek that will keep you from scratching the hell out of your phone, this is it. It's made of a stiff TPU and is well textured for grip. Feels more plasticy than rubbery but still flexible. Fits as good as it does in the ebay pic too. A really well formed and cut case for dirt cheap. Ships from China but I got mine sent to Illinois in week's time.
The best was the poetic atmosphere but that got discontinued and now impossible to find. I wanted a second one too a blue one

I just picked up a Body Glove DropSuit at Wal-mMart for $16, best case I've had for this phone yet. I got it in Grey, I'm actually gonna go back and get one in black, too. Fits absolutely PERFECTLY, pretty much snaps on over the phone, being a lightly-flexible TPU. I've already dropped it once today, and it bounced once and landed flat. Only thing I haven't liked so far is the volume buttons are hard to push, but that's it. I LOVE it. Super grippy, and the ribbed back and grip blocks down the sides make it totally solid to hold.
This case looks like a tank
I have Official HTC One Hard Shell and im happy with it - bought it through ebay. Saved my phone twice
I have this one , and it is doing its job very well, my one is as new and I dropped it a few times(even face down, some lucky I guess xD)
