One of my all-time favorite cases - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

I know that our phone was just released by Tmobile.
I am a bit restless and impatient.
On my Vibrant I had a special case on it. There's no definitive name.
Some sites advertise as
(1) "hybrid back case"
(2) "mesh case"
(3) "flex case"
But, all in all, I am still waiting for this case.
I don't know the standard "snap-in" cases, comprised of 2 piece construction because we are the tweakers and drug addicts of the phone world. When does a day go by that we don't pop off the back cover to expose the battery and use "Download mode" right?
So, the cases I mentioned above are always
(1) extra thin
(2) Super flexible
(3) very very easy to remove
and best of all
(4) one piece.
So, it's official, I'm coining the term right now, "pop-in" case, or "plomp" or "clap-case"
You heard it here first boys and girls.
Here's what I'm talking about
http://forums.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-s-ii/107079-sgs2-cases.html
Samsung has officially released the above case for the international version of the SGS 2.
I'm waiting for somebody, even some cheap imitator to create these for the SGS2.
Even for the Vibrant, the "pop" case was difficult to find amidst a sea of Bull-Crap hippie 2-piece design cases.
So, let me know what you guys think. I'm extremely excited.
#2 - Screen protectors
I think I used the Clear Look - screen protectors. It's made by a korean company and I got it on Amazon.
I liked it because
(1) lightweight
(2) extremely clear
(3) great feel, just like the gorilla glass feels.
Anyway, any suggestions in the meantime for a screen protector that doesn't "matte" up the screen, and feels reasonably similar to the current gorilla glass?
Thanks all

Grab a D30 case from Tmobile! Super thin, provides grip but doesn't keep from being easily slipped into your pocket, and best of all features legendary D30 protection in a snap-in case (I like that name best)

On my vibrant I had the Realook crystal screen protector. It looked like there was no screen protector on the phone. I ordered the same brand for the Hercules from Amazon but it looks like will not ship until the end of the month.
I also just received a hybrid touch case off ebay similar to the case I had on my vibrant for 10 bucks free shipping. I will post pics later.

The T-Mobile stores have these D30 cases in stock already?? Do you have a pic?

Lucky, I tried to get one but all they had was the Body Glove ones. The Realook sp is out, but are on back order. I would be getting one as well. Had it on the iPhone, the first Galaxy (Vibrant), MT4G, and I love it.

On the day of release my Tmobile store had one box come in of the D30 cases. By the time I went there to pick up my sgs2 they were all gone. I think its a hit or miss. Some stores had them in stock one release day and some didnt. However, my store did say they were getting more in by the end of the week so more might already be on the shelves. I would go back this week or call your local stores and see if any are in stock.

Boston, MA. T-Mobile store right near Berkley.

Nice pics!!! Thanks for sharing.

I can't even find this case on t-mobile.com. Only one's I can find in store or online are the Body Glove ones that I'm not a fan of.

Post pictures of the case with your phone in it !!!
This is exciting.
I'm still waiting for that mesh case though. It's soo thin, it's a very unobtrusive shield over the phone. Mesh!!!
I really don't care if it's actually mesh, but I just want the "pop-in" function mated with its tiny profile.

looks like a great case! I should check if t-mo stores out of my area stock them.

These cases are amazing, my store had 3 come in launch day. We're sold out now, but should be getting another shipment in a few days. I always demo it to customers by dropping it from shoulder height (i'm 6'1"), always makes the sale lol

If somebody is in dire need and can't find a D30 case I could always pick one up for them and mail it if they paypal me all costs. I'm not sure if they still have them but PM me and I'll check in the next couple days.

OMG! i really like this case.
i'll see if i can pick up one online, ebay or whatever

Picked one of these cases from my local store...finally had some in stock. The only thing I don't like is how hard it is to turn the power/unlock button. I'm wondering if there is something I can do to "break it in?"

thanks for the pics. Does everyone that got D3O case notice it being kind of dirty inside like white marks and dots.
Also noticed the speaker cutout has weird curve on the longer edges. ( its not a perfect rectangle)
Is mine defective or is it a design?

Would you like to see a Speck CandyShell case for Evo?

The only thing I miss about my iPhone is my Speck CandyShell case. If you would like to see a CandyShell for the Evo, please go to http://www.speckproducts.com/about/contact_us and send them a note requesting they make CandyShell's for the Evo. If enough of us request it, maybe they will consider! It's a long shot, i know
edit: after a week of owning the Evo, turns out there are more things I'm missing about my iphone then just the case unfortunately. namely battery life, charging time, and size/weight. don't get my wrong, i wouldn't go back. just saying...
hells no, they can keep their overpriced ****. i'm got my case off of ebay because i don't see the justice of paying over $15 for a case. that's all it is folks, a plastic case. i aint paying $35 for something i can get off of ebay for $9.
YES! I've got the Candyshell case on my iPod Touch, and I was just searching for news on one for my Evo. I sent in a request.
My friend has one of these for his iPhone and i like it, but it adds to much bulk. If they made a "slim" line, i would be DOWN cause it looks like it fits the phone well and keeps the dirt out from getting behind the case and scratching things up!

really? i feel just the opposite. its very slim, at least in my opinion. and to the guy saying $35 is too much for a case, you're right. thats why i got my candyshell on amazon for $16 shipped Im not too worried about the price of a case anyways, I mean I am putting a $550 device in it, so even if it was $35, no big deal. I have watched friend after friend crack their iphone screens, and I had dropped mine every way possible and not a crack or a scratch on it. a case needs to have a soft inside and a plastic outside to protect properly. thats just protection 101. you wouldn't wear a solid plastic helmet would you? no, that would hurt like hell. it needs to have padding in it! also, Speck does make "slim line" type cases without the soft inside, but obviously at a cost.
I heard back about my request:
[FONT=&quot]Thank you for contacting Speck![/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]I have no ETA on when a new case/color would be available but please check back on our website and sign up for email alerts on new products. Please join our mailing list for email alerts on Sales and New Product Releases![/FONT]

After poking around their site I can't see where they've made ANY cases for HTC products before. Looks like they're mainly Fruit company products.
What i want is that Case-mate makes a leather skin on for the evo its awesome i would never care if i drop my phone i had the leather skin on my ipod for 1 year and i dropped it a multiple times a day and never a scratch on the ipod

TPU ftw.
I loved my speck cases, but now that I have bought an argyle TPU crystal gel case I'll never go back. I love these cases! TPU FTW!
Reconsider the benefits.

Reconsider the benefits of shelling out a few more dollars.
1.) Quality - The protection you get from a quality case vs. a plastic shell is justification enough. How long before you end up shelling out more money for a replacement due to "low quality" materials used for your case?
2.) Durability - A simple hard plastic shell does not absorb impacts very well and may not only break after one fall but can also allow enough internal jolt from a fall to not only damage an internal component in your device but can lead to a severe impact that will cause your screen to crack.
3.) Protection - Cheaper is not always better when it comes to protection. Would you buy a cheap ass condom hoping that it will protect you in the same way a known brand will offer it's protection for you?
For the retail price of $549.99, I'm willing to shell $25.00 to get a quality case for my investment.

I picked up the argyle TPU case as well, but its far from perfect. It will work until someone releases a decent 2 layered case (soft inside hard outside).. not really digging the Seidio Active. Ill rock the TPU until Speck or Otterbox releases something. I do like how thin the TPU case is, but I doubt it would save it from a serious fall the way my CandyShell did.
wanna see some really amazing cases that we cant use for the evo? http://more-thing.com/
Speaking of case-mate, they offer something similar to Speck's CandyShell, though not for the Evo: custom.case-mate.com/mixandmatch/cases/hybrid-tough-custom-cases/

Actually Case-Mate should be launching their case and product line for the EVO soon. Of course, they have to get the iPhone 4 cases out first
On topic, I seriously doubt that Speck will release anything for the EVO. After looking at their site, the only other phone they accommodate is Blackberry.
I know this thread is very dead, but I wanted to revive it. I'm surprised more people don't want a speck case for their evos. I have to say, I love them. I would probably ditch my ext battery just to throw one on. The reason I am reviving this is because recently I saw they added the HD7 and the HTC incredible to their list of covered phones.
To speck:
Cmon, otterbox gets it. Its not only uninformed users that want your cases. Don't you see the market potential? Image where you could be at with sales on the evo if you woulda made one when I as well as many others requested it when the EVO came out. Its still is sprints flagship, and one of the most covered phones out, still.
OP here, i saw those too and it revived a glimmer of hope. Honestly at this point its too late i just hope they make one for evo 3d.

Yeah, I know.. its a shame.
I don't get how they choose their phones to cover. INC and HD7 are the ONLY android phones? hrmm.. You'd think the evo would be one of the easiest phones to make one for. Meh.

Just ordered this case. (PICS ADDED 10/6)

I have the exact same one on my evo 3d, I had one on my mytouch 4g. I really love this case. Plus it has texture grips on the side which will make this thing less slippery I'm glad to see they made it for the E4GT
hows the bulk on the case? is it about the same as the typical tpu case?
nice find, btw. at this price its a steal
EDIT: just looked up some vids, this case is sick! awesome design/grip/dirt cheap
holy crap!!!!!! I just got me the blue one thank you for this find
The case protection is great but I find the buttons very hard to press with the case (on my Nexus). The case material is too stiff to press the button.
Had this case for my nexus too. It was not for me but maybe the problems were just for the nexus

I'll let you know when I get it. Not sure if it will be different since the e4gt is much thinner. on my other devices it was the same as any tpu case. not bulky but not paper thin. The grip sides is what I really love about it and the difference in textures in the back gives it some added grip. The case does feel very nice in the hand.

When I had it for my mytouch 4g the buttons were really hard to press as well but I didnt mind that because that just meant I wouldnt hit them by accident like I always did But the one on my evo 3d while they are still a little harder to press they are much easier to press than the one that was on my mytouch 4g. Some people just use an exacto knife and cut out holes for the buttons it's very easy to do and since the case is so cheap, you can do it, mess it up(which you would have to be retarded, drunk or stoned to do) and not feel guilty about it.

anyone find a case with a kickstand, besides the over priced POS at the Sprint stores?

Nice. Thanks for posting. I just ordered one. Can't wait to try it. I was going to order one from TPU Cases but the one I wanted was sold out. I hope all the cut outs match up.
good find. the only downside i see in it is that its coming from Hong Kong and will take 20-30 days to get to you. hope you are safe with your phone and dont hurt it before then. good find for 3 bucks but for 5 bucks more you could have ordered one from TPU-cases.com and received it in 2-3 days, with a free screen protector.

Just got mine. It looks sweet on my phone. I like the fact that you get both textures on it, matte and gloss in a nice design. The grips on the side are a nice and useful touch. The cutout are spot on. The power and volume buttons are not a problem. You can push them in with ease. I ordered it on the 28th, shipped out on the 29th, and received it on the 4th. Can't really complain about shipping from China when you get it that fast. As long as customs doesn't stop it you should have it in the same time frame. Very happy with this purchase and for only $2.90 it makes it even better. I would definitely recommend them.

3 in 1 Combo Case & Holster for Samsung Galaxy S II (T-Mobile)

I first found this on Ebay but the seller sold out.
I found it on Amazon.com for $19.93
Just wondering if any have tried this case out.
Yeah I know...no one really wears belt clips these days lol.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005TWBL9S/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&m=A1RH0KAQ4UOK5L
is that a holster and allows the phones screen to face inward? if so, i am very excited! i just spoke to my friend about that the other day...all the cases ive seen have the screen facing outward and exposed...i dont like the vulnerability of that..i told him i wish i had the resources to pitch an idea like that to someone and get it made...also..is that phone in a rubber case too?
also...im curious about the ease of putting the phone in and out of it...if it will scratch up the back of the case
they are selling on ebay for much cheaper $14
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Protector-C...588767?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item1e68949c9f
Can't you just do that with any holster? Its the same size around, unless some holsters have the button area set but this one seems like both ways since both side are the same amount of space for buttons
DMolina ツ
the package comes with a holster and a case..i dont know about the dimensions of either...if you buy a case or holster separately they may not fit perfectly together...and most holsters are just cases with a small detachable piece on the back to put it on/off of your belt...therefore the screen is facing out..which to me is a no no
like this one..

I actually still use a holster or I would lose my phone lol. I was gonna buy.that same combo on eBay but just decided to wait for the active seidio combo.
the seidio combo looks a lot higher quality...but it is crazy expensive $40-50?

DO NOT BUY
i got one of these cases for my phone the first week i had it same color and everything and not only is it a cheap POS but it doesn't even snap on the phone snug and is bulkier than a ************ buyer beware!!
It ended up fitting my phone so horribly i demanded a refund from the seller and he told me i didn't need to bother sending it back.
ALSO: the title "3 in 1" combo case is a load of **** because the kick stand doesn't work in landscape...no joke. You can see in the pic i uploaded that the kick stand clip part sticks out and the phone cannot balance on that uneven point it literally just doesn't work.
Also the portrait mode kickstand mode requires you to put your phone in upside down and the kick stand function is based off of extreme pressure on cheaply made plastic and nothing else. When you bend the pincer clip open you can see it bend where it is connected to the holster by a clearly visible glue circle
So yeah just wanted to prevent someone else from wasting twenty bucks... and sorry to those who already did.

I use this iPhone sport armband case for my phone so i can keep it safe and protected but also add no extra bulk. I wish i had a link but i got it from Walmart looked through all their cases and was about to walk out when i saw this beauty sitting on the iPhone exclusive aisle of accessories.
It fits the phone to a tee.. snug as ****. Its almost too good of a fit but manages to be perfect.
Again i wish i could hook it up w link or even brand but i just threw the packaging out as soon as i got it and slipped it in my device heh.
Here's a visual reference I'd imagine wall marts all have similar inventory especially with something like this
I'm aware the phone is not a sgs2 its an evo 3d to demonstrate how much you can see the screen through the window and because i dont have tapatalk installed on it and im too lazy to install it just so i can take a picture of the phone im using with it. Rest assured that the case fits like a dream. The material is also made so you can interact with your screen through it.

looks like the seidio combo is the best solution for people looking for a case and holster...but at $50 its quite expensive...at least its a reputable company though

Otterbox Commuter & XO Skins Screen protector Review w/ PICS!

Hey xda members, 2 days ago i got my Otterbox Commuter case, and today i recieved my XO Skins screen protector.
This is my first time writing a review, so please bare with me lol
So I've been using the otterbox case for a few days now and i must say I LOVE IT!
the fit is very nice, looks great, and feels awesome. I have read that some people find it to be too slippery, but for me its great. I likke how it has the flaps for the charger port and headphones jack, helps keep out dust and such. It sits very nicely in the hand, i found the phone without any case to be a little slim and i felt like it was going to slip out everytime I held it. The one concern I have with this case is the power button, and those that have this case please let me know if it's the same with yours, i can't feel the button actually push in, it feels more like I just touch it and the screen comes on or off. Not sure if I like it or not but i am getting used to it now. The volume buttons on the other hand feel fine. At first i was worried that the case would make the phone look and feel bulky, as i had one for my X2, but i was surprised this doesn't add too much bulk. The phone, to me at least, feels perfect in my hand. Also this case covers up the the prongs below the power button, i don't mind or care about it but some of you might so keep that in mind. Also i do have the extanded battery 2100mAh too and did try it with this case and it's not a nice fit. There are some gaps on the sides and the buttons seem like they are pressed in at times so i would not recommend this case with the extended battery.
And just a few hours ago I recieved my XO Skins screen protector in the mail and put it on right away. My previous screen protector I had just before i put this one on was the verizon one, and it sucked. Cut outs were bad and too large for the toop speaker and there was about a mm of space on the edges of the screen, which i didn't like. The XO on the other hand is fantastic. The screen protector is almost invisible unless you look at the cutout for the front cam and light sensor. It goes right to the very edge of the screen which i like. The quality is also fantastic. The material feels somewhat like that of the ZAGG but no orange peel what so ever, which i also like. I did however order the ZAGG as well for the full body just to be safe lol.
Overall I recommend this case with this screen protector to anyone, both are a great combination. The case i got on ebay for 29.50 and free shipping and the screen protector i got from the XO website, and somewhere on here someone posted some discount coupons which i wish i would have seen before i bought mine but no biggy it was only 13.xx i believe plus 2.99 shipping
I also have on the way and SGP Neo Hybrid case which i will post a review once i get it. Got the Reventon Yellow.

^The cutouts are really nice and precise unlike the verizon one i had
Also, you can't really tell here but the XO skins doesn't affect the quality of the screen what so ever. took that pic on the Nexus actually hood of my car very nice pics even though some people complain.
If someone would like to know something more or see more pics let me know.
Thanks
Looks great! Is that the case fit or regular XO Skin?

its the regular fit. i dont like the case fit because it doesnt go all the way to the edges of the screen
Looks like a lot of lint / dust is attracted to the case.

actually not really, i just used a microfiber towel and it left that behind. im picky about that stuff too and the case doesnt actually attract that much if any.
Question about the XO skin (not directed towards the topic creator but I just figured that since this thread is somewhat related to it I could ask it here), how does the lifetime replacement warranty work? Is it like, you order it and get it but you apply it wrong somehow and it gets ruined they will send you back a new perfect one for you to apply?

I sent them a email. They sent me a link to order a replacement with a rma #. You have to pay $3 and some change for shipping. They tell you too send back the original skin, but for me they sent the replacement upon payment for the shipping. Note that they don't send you any more solution so if you don't have any left you can order more from the site for $3. Not sure if the adding of the solution will increase the shipping costs since I didn't order it. Basically they sent the skins in a regular envelope for regular first class postage of $.44. So they really don't lose anything because they make about $3 on the postage.

That's good to hear. The CM Tough Case's silicon always attracted lint/dust, it appears this one seems better to avoid it.
Is the power button easy to depress with the commuter? My isn't clicky like the volume buttons. I do have a replacement coming soon.
It sucks no one sells the commuter locally. Where did you get it?

most likely lol.. ive seen them price drop on Amazon lately... bought myself the Commuter last night for ~$29 with free shipping.
Had a Case-Mate Tough Case before but was tired of the silicon attracting dust plus Case-Mate refunded me the money I paid for the case so it's like I got it for free because of the revision. Decided not to go with Case-Mate again and give this case a try as I bought a extended battery and that wouldn't fit with Case-mate.

bah looks like I paid $1 over oh well haha
I use the spray for a cleaner now. you can just refill the bottle with water. Add a drop of dish soap if you want. That's all it is. Someone sprayed some in their eye and they said that on their twitter account http://twitter.com/xoskins
That Otter box and xo combo looks great. I have been waiting to get the Otterbox for it, just waiting for it local. I'll probably just order online for it now.

Cool.
Thanks.
Thanks for the review! I think I'm gonna pop off my Defender SP and install one of those XO skins.
Why do they sell the case for cheaper on Amazon rather than their own site?

Where are the good cases?

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.

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)
