UPDATE:
I have seen a lot of questions about people seeing this case with out the lip portion which is on the top right of the screen. I just found this case on ebay which is half the price and does not have the lip.

Here is a White version I also found which looks nice.

Ballistic SG Case for T-Mobile
I just saw it on eBay and it looks like a great case for protection.
Here is the company's site with the standard S2. They haven't added our phones yet to their site.
http://www.goballisticcase.com/products/samsung-galaxy-s2-ballistic-shell-gel-sg-series-case
Just recieved it today. I like the way it looks but it has a couple of drawbacks.
Pros:
1) Pushing the volume or power button is the best I have seen yet for the T-Mobile GS2 cases. Very fluid just like there isnt a case and the buttons make the natural noise that they make just like not using a case.
2) Seems to be the best protection I have seen for the GS2. I think it will handle a drop very easily.
3) I dont have a screen protector but the way this is designed I dont see how this case would cause any issues like the D30 cases do due to a tight fit. Its somewhat loose and should not cause the corners of a screen protector to lift up.
4) Has a great feel to it and adds some weight to the phone.
5) Protects the back camera perfectly.
6) It does add some thickness to the phone but this is because the phone is extra protected. I would say it is about 1.5x to 1.75x as thick as the phone without a case on it.
Cons:
1) The first layer is rubber and due to this fact it has a few issues.
2) Collects lint easily from your pocket.
3) Can be difficult at times to put in and out of your pocket due to the rubber.
By far though this is the best case I have had for a phone. I own a couple of TPU cases for the T-Mobile GS2 and a D30. It makes the D30 look like junk even though the D30 is a great basic case.It has some drawbacks but the pros outweigh the cons. I definitively recommend this case to anyone that wants the ultimate protection for their phone and doesnt mind cleaning the lint off everyonce in a while. If you like my review please give me a thanks.
just saw one too. didnt kno that they started to make them yet. their a little bulky for my line of work. and since im a student im not really in the situations where is need THAT Much protection....but do a review if you get one.
I ordered one. As soon as it comes in I will post pics.

I have to say yes... I'll take measurement tmrw but the corners are thicker than all of it. Its still not bad. Fits in my pocket n like how it feels in my hand ... I like the texture of back compared to the d3o.
To be fair, the rubber corners will pick up lint just like vibrant otter box. This thing is maximum protection...

Thanks, got one on order. This will be my 4th and hopefully final case for this phone, I am a fan of otterbox so I think I will like it. I started with the black bodyglove from tmobile, not a bad case but a pain in the ass to take of so I got one of the clear TPU cases from ebay and its a great case. And then the D30 came out so I exchanged the bodyglove for it, had to take it back because it fit like crap, the next one fit 95% better but is still uneven around the edges and for a $25.00 piece of rubber it should be perfect like the $7.00 one from ebay.
The first D30 that I got was from T-Mobile. That one fit perfectly, just didn't like the way how the button press felt. So then I also got a TPU case from eBay. Next thing T-Mobile gave out the cases so I picked it up, returned the original one I bought at T-Mobile store, but then the one I got from T-Mobile online, it fit 95% and was bubbling up my Realook. I was hoping for a Seidio case to come first but since I've heard good things about Ballistic case, I gave it a shot. Waiting for it to come in the mail now.

Oh yeah, that was the other thing, the buttons. Volume not too bad, power button was a PITA on the D30.

Hey guys,
I usually post on the Int. Galaxy S II and Nexus S forums but my roommate recently picked up the Epic Touch 4G so I'm going to start with some coverage on cases for the device. The folks over at Case-Mate sent me out their Tough case for review, and I will be bringing more reviews of their cases in the coming weeks.
The Tough case is a dual layered case that offers good protection and style, although is it a little thick. You can find the full video below:

I agree! Taking it off is easy for me, however putting it back on can sometimes be a pain.
For those who may want to purchase one, I've found a deal on it - only 25$ at Accessorygeeks:
http://www.accessorygeeks.com/case-...AMSUNG&utm_campaign=CASE&utm_content=CM017002
Don't bother. I placed an order a couple days ago and it was taking my item forever to ship. I called them and they told me the item was on backorder and they won't be receiving stock till 11/30. They didn't even bother to notify me that they were out of stock so i won't be doing business with them anymore.
Really? That kind of blows...I was hoping they'd be a good company.

To be honest though, I didn't like the Brushed Aluminium all that much.. ended up giving it to a co-worker and ordering another TPU Matte Back Black.
Got my tough case today for Christmas. Must say that I love it. The tpu I had wasn't bad but the added protection and grip of this case is much better! Comparable to an otterbox commuter series. Not super bulky like the defender series.

Just got it in. Put it on, and it makes the phone feel so much more stable. I'll post some pics later, but it fits like a glove just like the pics on their site. Nice and snug. No gaps anywhere. The inner part is really soft touch silicon almost squishy rubber feeling, and the outer layer is a hard shell plastic, but it has that soft felt touch. Very high quality. All the holes line up perfectly. I recommend it.
Any pictures?

Video Review - SGS2 Incipio Silicrylic Case
I like the case! IMHO it's the best one available out there right now for the SGS2 for T-Mobile. Much better than the Body Glove cases they sell at the T-Mobile store (yes I've tried them all). I give it a 9/10 watch my video review (first ever, so apologies in advance) here:

I have this case it's excellent. Fit is very good and it's very light. The sides have a little texture which makes it easier to grip and the button covers provide just enough resistance that I no longer have pushes happening when it's in my pocket. I was skeptical when I ordered it but I really can't think of anything I'd change about it - it's a fantastic case at a ridiculously good price.

Wonder how this one stacks up against the $10 one from Diztronic? I have that model and it's also a pretty nice case. Think I'll go ahead and jump on one as well. But I'm still looking for something in the Aegis/Commuter range for protection. Anyone seen either of these two floating around? For some reason, I'm just not feeling the Case Mate offering. Maybe I should re-think that!

Looks identical - I expect they all come from the same factory in any case. But why get it from amazon for $7.50 when you can get it on ebay for $2?
Just ordered my Epic Touch from Amazon yesterday (upgrading from an Evo 4G).. figured at this price, it'll at least be good enough to use until I find one that I like better... if I dont like this one
Whoo got the the case today and it feels amazing on the hands.
I sometimes think the phone is to thin and I can't grab it so well. I have used it for an hour now and I could already feel myself enjoying using my phone alot better.
The phone has some grooves on the sides that feels pretty snug and some what rugged.. Maybe it's so it doesn't slip out of your pocket. Which will benefit me since I use the phone for music and the gym alot.
Now I can lay my phone down on the counter with worrying about scratching the screen or the camera

I have this case in all clear. All the holes line up correctly as long as you put it on right. The only issue I have with it is the kickstand rubs on the back of the phone when you open it and may eventually leave small marks if used enough.
I ordered the same case in black without the kickstand and I am going to put my FlyGrip back on it. This thing is awesome as long as you don't mind the extra thickness.

I tried out a Body Glove case at an at&t store and it feels way better than the case I mentioned above. I finally put my Flygrip on it today. It's a bit expensive, but it makes the phone more comfortable and you really can't tell the difference in your pocket. It also helps keep the speaker off wherever you placed your phone so it doesn't dampen your notifications / ringtones.
I just got my cheapo TPU kickstand case
(http://www.ebay.com/itm/TPU-Plastic...ccessories&hash=item4845f27e73#ht_3661wt_1396)
It's actually pretty nice so far! The matte pieces are harder plastic, and the clear parts are softer TPU. I was a little worried that the sides would be uncomfortable to hold, but the texture is fairly dull so they don't poke your fingers.
The big draw for me was the kickstand, which is mostly ok. It works, in that it flips out. I do have two concerns though... (1) as you can see, there's no other layer underneath, so when it's open that part of the back case is exposed. This isn't a big problem except I expect it to trap a bit of lint and stuff. Then, (2) hopefully there is enough clearance for it to open that it's not rubbing on the phone all the time. It's also a little hard to get a fingernail in there to open it, but not horrible. It's hard to complain too badly for $7.50, including a screen protector, a neat little stylus (which is actually pretty great, probably the best touchscreen stylus I've used so far), and an entertaining Engrish manual.
Disclaimer: Fitment review is TBD, however, it fits my new cardboard GS3 pretty well (pictured) Now, I just need my real one! I also got the clear version to show off my pebble blue, as opposed to the pictured "white" model.
Edit: I should also note that I got some of those XtremeGuard body skins that were on sale and plan to put them on as well. So, hopefully that will protect the back case against possible wear from the kickstand, as well as mitigating the issue with that section of the case being "open".

I tried out a Body Glove case at an at&t store and it feels way better than the case I mentioned above. I finally put my Flygrip on it today. It's a bit expensive, but it makes the phone more comfortable and you really can't tell the difference in your pocket. It also helps keep the speaker off wherever you placed your phone so it doesn't dampen your notifications / ringtones.

here is the case i bought on ebay.
So I'm browsing through the electronics section at Wal-Mart looking for a wireless mouse and I happen to stumble upon a new case for our phone. At first I'm thinking, "Oh, so now we have an Otterbox Defender!" Then I look at the box and it's a Body Glove!
I looked online for this case, but cannot even find it on the Body Glove website. I took a few pictures of it. It looks pretty good. It's a little bulky, but not too much. Very sturdy. The case is three parts - two for the inner hard plastic and one for the outer rubber-like shell. It's much easier to install than the Otterbox cases, but really feels just as protective - for less as well (paid less than $40). I said "Defender-like", so yes it comes with a holster - and it's almost identical to the Defender holsters.
Have any of you guys seen this case in any local stores? It feels like a pretty good one.
I haven't seen one in stores yet...because i have not been looking for one. I will see if i can find it...
What's the product number and can you post pictures of box it came in

That's cool...
OK, here are photos of the case this thread is talking about. Not much info on the case itself, and I threw the box away pretty quickly.
I took pictures of the box in the store. Its like $38. They show up fine in my gallery, so not sure why tapatalk is turning them sideways.

Apparently this is very new. Military tested specs, and it feels and looks much better than the Otterbox. I'm using a Thunderbolt for work with the Otterbox Defender. They look similar from a distance, but the look and feel in your hands is not even close. They also had one for the GS3. After several days of use, this has to be the best looking, best feeling, sleekest (relatively speaking, of course) heavy duty shock resistant case I've owned (and I've owned quite a few over the years).

Got this today and just luving it. Had the Body Glove Diamond white case before and it was a good quality but the Tough Suit case is perfect. Not too thick, built like a tank, this is the new batmobile from Christian Bale's Batman Trilogy if the other thin and slick cases are the stealthy slick batmobiles from the past xD
How are the buttons? Are they nice and tactile or stiff and mushy? That's what's bugging me about the D30 Impact case. The buttons are way too stiff and mushy (and before someone says I should hit the gym, I'm no chump. I can press them just fine, it's just annoying).
Just ordered one of these http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-OEM-Whi...727&pid=100015&prg=1006&rk=1&sd=290717667572& I think I'll review it once I get it.

I'm using this case as well and it fits perfectly and adds the exact amount of weight and size to it. Only thing was I got ripped off haha I think I paid 20 something for it and saw it on amazon for less than half of that. But I needed a case asap.

My co-worker has one of these on his black T989, he's happy with it, however I don't believe he's ever really dropped it so no drop-test experience with it. Oh, and those cases were also being sold at the T-Mobile store, for $29.95 label, no discount for clearing stock.

they look pretty beefy compared to mine and when i dropped mine it was fine the only thing that looks off in the pictures is that it doesnt look completely snug.

say whaaaaat?! hahaha! I didnt even notice :silly:
Got my Body Glove Diamond case a week ago and reviewed it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2004609
I also bought the black body glove case at Walmart and after 24 hours I'm loving it. The only gripe I had was the built in screen protector. I have zagg so I took a razor knife and cut it out. Couldn't ask for a better case.
I want one of these cases, but I can't find it anywhere.
Love my seidio active case and holster. Better than my old phones otterbox!
Just saying!
