I am looking for a rugged case for my GSII. I recently got the otterbox commuter case. I love otterbox but was a little disappointed when they did not release the defender case for the device. Has anyone run across a rugged case for the GSII? I tried the Case-mate tough case but honestly feel like the otterbox commuter has better protection. Thanks in advance for any leads!

I heard somewhere that they are bringing out the defender case soon. This seems to be ok I guess.

i use this one... pretty good case!
I got the casemate tough case. Seems good to me.
There are a couple threads on this already. I just posted replies to two of them regarding the same question.
My answer was metal case. find taurus / sweet armor / akiba slider for galaxy s2.
If you're looking to protect the back as well perhaps the two layer plastic cases may work? or frosted matte TPU/silicon cases are pretty good too as they are very form fitting (no gaps like old silicon case)
Using the casemate tough now for one month. On-screen i got the martin fields protectors.
Case gets 10/10 stars for my purposes. Phones been dropped couple of times now without damage!
Can strongly recommend the casemate tough!
greets
You could try OTTERBOX, and have a look to this thread and ask your qustion ;-)

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
Link: http://cgi.ebay.com/Cowhide-Leather-Case-Samsung-Galaxy-S2-i9100-Brown-/160592753187
Of course the only situation is how thick your case right now? Since they are made from leather

Hey guys, like the title says... is there something like the Nexus One pouch for the Galaxy S2? I don't need fancy cases and what not. Just something to protect the phone when Im not using it...
How was the N1 pouch! I don't know that. But I can recommend some great pouches out there.
For Full cover Flip Top Leather pouch,
Either Zenus Prestige Carbon or SGP Argos.
For Non full cover case,
Case Mate Tough (I am using).
For looking and some protection,
SGP Neo Hybrid.
Regards.
The N1 had a neoprene slip pouch, which added a fair bit to the overall thickness of the phone. While it was handy, there was something perverse about doing the same thing with the ultra slim Galaxy S2!
In the end, I went with the leather pouch case made by Sena. It took a few days to stretch out, especially over the case mate barely there cover, but looks nice.
Hello all,
As i'm sure some of you have been trying to find a case that fits the 2000mah kit from Samsung and having a lot of trouble? well being a case whore i'm building a collective list of cases which do or do not fit, if you have any info please PM me and i'll add your results to the list, please PM fitting and non fitting cases, but please CTRL+F and search for the case your going to PM me incase it's already on the list. without further ado;

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
OK guys..
Need some tips for selecting which case I should get for my GN. I want my phone to be as sleek as possible with the case on. Using stock battery.
Now, not many shops are stocking accessories yet for the GN. So I have to give eBay a go this time around.
I have shortlisted these two cases:
BLACK GEL S Line TPU Hybrid Cover Case Skin for SAMSUNG GALAXY NEXUS I9250
Black Soft S TPU Silicone Case Cover Skin for Samsung i9250 Galaxy Nexus
Is there any difference between the above two cases ? They have the same pictures and description. Just the title is different. :/
How are the above cases different from the Diztronic mentioned below ?
Diztronic Samsung Galaxy Nexus Matte Back TPU Case Gel Cover & Screen Protector
Thanks
Im rocking the black and clear Andy from site listed below. Do understand any case will add some bulk but this one is very little. Also adds nice protection to the front in case you drop it to protect the screen from cracking.....it doesnt have the volume keys cut out but it doesnt bother me....plus its not rubber so no lint being stuck
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=me=A1OK9R8S7S5URY&field-keywords=galaxy+nexus&x=0&y=0
Also, he said he has a new case coming out that I will def be checking out once it comes out. You can see a preview here

I have one of those first one, the S TPU case and I think it is a perfect case. The added grip at the sides make it very comfortable to hold without fear of dropping it. Go for it
