Well to be frank with you, I don't like the case.

which metal bumper will be the best?

Taurus
Sweet armor
I found the power and volume buttons are improved to help people to press in sweet armor bumper, but taurus gives more alternative colours
Any suggestion???

I am using the Taurus Version, and Yellow. Love it.
The contour of the case and and design, fits like a GLOVE!!

Do these things actually protect well? I feel like the impact would be transferred to the device more so than a TPU/silicone case. Sure they look nice, but I don't feel like they are practical.

When I got it, it was installed by a friend of mine, the in between the case and phone, have a silicone cushion build on the case. The phone do budge or move at all.
I guess the silicone cushion is made for shock absorption.
The Taurus looks nice but damn if they make that sweet one in Gunmetal gray I'm getting it!

Got all sorts of Color!! Including GUN Metal!! Its worth it, I do not feel the extra Weight to it!!
Just want to know, is this taurus case can be fitted with SGP TOugh Case's Silicon Protector? Anyone ever try it?
aren't metal cases really bad for your phone? i heard it heats it up like no other.

Something like Taurus isnt a full case but a bumper.
The battery cover isnt covered by metal, so it wont heat at all.

I meant if Sweet Armor comes in Gunmetal lol! I know Tauras has gunmetal . thanks tho!
Anyone know where you can order the sweet armor one online? I can't seem to find it on google at all, might be using the wrong search codes though but still. I do like the gunmetal taurus one as well.
Also, how do the buttons feel on the taurus once applied?
Hey guys,
I was wondering with the case on, can you still take off the back cover? like sometimes the phone crashes and if you cant then it would suck !!
Looking to purchase a sweet armor one from Gmarket.
http://english.gmarket.co.kr/challenge/neo_goods/goods.asp?goodscode=216196087
but does this fit a international Samsung Galaxy S2?
that makes sense. i suppose that'll look pretty good
are they really made with metal?
i prefer the yellow one. it looks so cute.
but the blue one looks so cool. just like a robot~~

kinda like that But you shouldnt drop your phone anyway. Its better to break a 20-30$ bumper than a 600$ phone
I have a taurus one at the moment, if I drop it and it break, ill just go with a walnut one. Im using it because it fit with the 3200-3500mA battery. If I could get an otterbox for extended battery I would, but they wont make one

Super Slim Cases

Just stumbled accross this over at Amazon/Play.
Imperial Hard Case Super Slim Black
Looks like a decent enough case, protects the back mainly, and looks very thin
http://www.amazon.co.uk/iTALKonline.../ref=sr_1_134?ie=UTF8&qid=1321528707&sr=8-134
http://www.italkonline.co.uk/imperial-hard-case-super-slim-black-samsung-i9100-galaxy-p-18107.html
STK Samsung Galaxy S2 i9100 TPU Case / Black
Not sure about this one, resembles the Neo Hybrid in a way, just doesn't have sperate layers.
http://www.play.com/Mobiles/Mobile/4-/23551468/-/Product.html
Think im gunna take a gamble on the Italk one. Thin around the back, has holes in all the correct places. Looks like ir protects the phone when its turned over.
For £4.96 you can't go wrong really!
It's hard to tell from the photos whether it really does protect the front of the phone (when you place it face down). I'd be interested in what you find!
Yeah, i know what you mean. To be fair. I nver plce my phone screen way down anyway!
Came this morning, Looks promising.
Will upload pics etc in few hours
First impressions are its very nice and slim!
Cant hardly tell its there!
Pros
Slim
Feels nice
Doesn't look cheap
Gives sight screen potection (I mean slight, 1mm tops)
Cons
Doesn't give much protection to Camera
Buttons on side could irritate some people.
To be fair, i wanted a slim case, which this is. I dont intend to launch my phone around, i always place it down back first.
Ill try and add some pics of the phone in the case soon.
Shots of the phone in the case.
I apologise in advance, The worst digital camera i've ever seen used in my life!
Gives you a rough idea, if your sat here now thinking, should I, Shouldn't I buy one. Go ahead and do it! You won't be dissapointed for £4.95
Also available on eBay for about £3
Feels rather weird having this case on, been use to thickness and the lip over on the Neo Hybrid!
How's the grip with this case?
Yeah, its alright, feels nice in the hand.
Honestly its a really nice case for £4.95, or £3 on ebay.
You wont be dissapointed!
Do you have the link to the ebay one?
Ebay Link;http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/UK-Black-..._MobilePhonesCasesPouches&hash=item2c60b78dc9
Im also going to try one of the following; http://www.obostore.com/nillkin-rainbow-silicone-soft-case-skin-for-samsung-galaxy-s2-p-1397.html
Do you think the phone would fit in a desktop dock with this case fitted?
Cheers
Rob
Probably.
Really is sllim, Like it says on the ebay link 0.3mm thick.

Excellent, I'll wait for the case to arrive, then have a look round for a dock that will fit.
Please let us know how the obostore case compares, I'm a big fan of decent phones cases and will inevitably try out a few.

[REVIEW][VIDEO] Speck PixelSkin HD

Hey everyone,
Just got the PixelSkin HD case in the mail today & did a short video review.
Check it out and feel free to post any comments you may have!
Thank you for the review.
So, after 24 hours with this case, I really like it.
It's definitely more firm than the Diztronic, and the material isn't as soft as other cases, so there is virtually NO lint attraction which is nice. It's thinner than I thought upon first opening, and it fits VERY snug to the phone - great fit.
If you want an understated case with a little bit of flash & very high quality - don't hesitate to pick this up.
What about the volume and power buttons? Are they broken in yet?
It looks better than I thought; still a tad expensive.
Thanks for the review
Not a fan of covers that don't have cutouts for the power and volume buttons. Case looks nice though.
Yeah, button covers are still pretty stiff, though it only took me a day to get used to them. Another thing I forgot to point out is that there is no opening for the 3 pin connector. Personally, that's a plus for me as I think it looks better.

To each their own My XO actually his a little rubbery texture feeling to it as well but absolutely no orange peel look that ruins clarity. You should give it a shot
Has anyone tried this case with the GSM version (with or without the extended battery)?
^^^I have the same question, im waiting but I really like the case.
hey everyone, just wanted to let you know I'm currently uploading a video to show the pixel case with the extended battery as well as another little case I picked up!
Here's the update, guys!

Slightly off topic. But how do you like your extended battery? Would it make any sense to get one if you had the spare battery charger and battery kit already?

I'm interested in this as well. I used one of these on my old iPhone and really like the feel of it. But yeah, I have the GSM version.

Im curious about this too. Im tempted to get the extended battery, but Ive heard mixed things. Mainly that it doesnt add that much juice.
Thanks For The Great Review, The Case Looks Nice And Not Too Bulky.

Ditto for the GSM question.
I have a Cruiser A2 Black, currently on my Galaxy Nexus gsm, and I absolutely despise it. The Pixel Skin HD is my favorite iPhone case and I was crestfallen when the website states that it was only for the Verizon version. Someone have both?

Case-Mate "Mike" Droid Creature Case

Anyone see this yet? Sorry if it's a re-post.
Looks like their take on the Androidified case.
http://www.case-mate.com/Samsung-Ga...ung-Galaxy-Nexus-Mike-Droid-Creature-Case.asp
This looks...very interesting.
But one does not simply rename Andy as Mike
Sometimes it's in the details, you know, like grip inducing genital wart like protuberances.
Can we assume this is for the i515 version?
It's kinda ugly.

You know the Androidified cases were a big hit, personally I thought something a little more subtle would be nice. I think they went the other direction though.

ordered. i hope it fits GSM model.
bumpity bump, just hoping someone who ordered could post a few pics and/or review if they happen to receive theirs
Man, I guess if you ever wanted to see what Andy looks like with an STD, this is the case to get. Ill be staying away from this one. Esp for $25. I can get 3 cruzer lite cases for $20 and it wont have any STD's....

Wish I would have read this post first. I bought that Stomob case. It does look good with the translucent cover but within 6 hours of putting it on I had 3 large scratches across the screen of my brand new OP7 Pro. The hard plastic cover (it isn't glass - likely polycarbonate) grinds into your screen. I'm super bummed and will see if Stomob stands behind their product at all that they claim ensures screen protection.
I've used clamshell cases on other phones for years without ever getting a scratch - this case causes scratches - avoid at all costs.

Thanks y'all for this info, the adds are awesome, but not the case. I'm going to keep using the provided case until I can find one I really want. It'll have to be a clear back as I'm not covering my Nubia up!!

Yeah totally agree. This case rocks and at half the cost. I looked at a few other cases similar to this stomob one but was concerned about the effects, if any, of the magnets on reception. Can't go wrong with a Supcase tho... Got mine off Amazon at under $13.

No. They're the only option for this kind of case. That sucks. Which is why I question the idea of modding other cases in order to have a bumper-only case. RS cases are just not that great, IMO.

Agree. They're not. I used them on my 6p and if you drop the phone, it's a scuff mark. The paint job peels quite easily as well.
