SGS2i9100 white, mainly cases pics and etc gear

hey all. this is just simply pics of sgs2 and cases, covers etc.
all these covers are dirt-cheap! most are foudn thru ebay or amazon. Do not use excessive quoting in any form!
pic 1: standard sgs2 i9100 nordic white version.
pic 2: case-mate clear case cover, very comfy TPU-style case. the stupid triangular indentations on the back seems to helpescape the blemishes coming from simply cleamching the tpu gel onto the glossy finish of the phone. Not that that really means a thing! The clear rim is a nice feature, showing the chrome bezel off the SGS2. The firm grip comes with the tpu style, the bumper protects all the edges and <obviously> the back camera front surface as well. All covers however, do vocer the camera protruding area. Can recommend this cover!
pic 3: This, a glossy clean white case, made of tpu, a lovely cover, this covers never lost it's white for months. Until - I put it in a bag for a few months at max. the result was this cover was stained in several ways, pencils' helping included, yet surprising how this 'storage' made it look real bad, darkened, stained, after being dumped so to speak.
pic4+5: both of these covers have no cut-outs for side buttons. they are not hard to control though. I have certainly tried worse with a SGS3 cover, whereas the side buttons are askew, tilted backwards to the back of the phone. Using TPU cases on SGS2 is quite okay, albeit can be hard. Nowhere the same issue as on the SGS3. Quite acceptable as you will eventualy know where and when to punch those voume and power buttons.
pic 6+7: comparison of the white TPU and the clear TPU case-mate covers,
pic8-9: these show the same TPU cases, and these come with some screen protectors. cases and covers come with a variety of screen protectors. so do these here, and how to categorize those, will be another matter, cos there's so many different ones. and i dont use a single one
pic 10: this show how a textile mini towel can be saved up for later polishing of the screen. And yes, this wil surely overheat your phone if all you do is play TinTin all day. The SGS3 has a way more back panel to give, and fits 'standard' towels fine.

pic 1-2: No sweat!
Pic: 3-5: that white dirt cheap tpu gel case. Nothing bad to say about this case. Other than if you remove it, put it in a tight plastic bag first - otherwise it will not stay white!

this post is about screen protectors.. happens they all look alike, out of the dozens i have.. there is a few matt ones etc. .. so no screen protectors stupidities. swipe along this post then. if you want to believe: swipe it clean frictionless.

some really awesome bigass covers for scouts
This G931. Golla holster is really neat. As many other holsters I did not find it practical in everyday. Which is a great unfortune! this is a great rain repellant pouch. This particular holster fits a variety of phones WITH cases on, which includes SGS2, S-E arc-S, and those sizes. The pouch has an extra zipper pocket at the belt side, which is a WIN!. Several in my family found it useful indeed.

Golla
pic 1-5: GOLLA G1065. this golla pouch is really nice. a sorta denime color, with damaged areas, a badge, a wide belt fitting, double velcro in the front for the front face flap. The credit card deposit is a JOKE, it is not functional, not useful. In general this pouch is very comfy and absolutely a great looking pouch. Only it does not come handy, for at least, me.
This pouch works as well for S-E Arc-S - even with a cover. Are you needing over protection, then this pouch is there to fit that extra belt.

Golla G1065
this is a previous Golla case. G1065. very very the same as to the previous sandy colored golla pouch. this fits a SGS2 as well, including a case. It also fits the S-E- Arc-S. I would not recommend this case.
it has poor rear hooks for straps - certainly a joke with the brutal vinyl look of the rear of the pouch! the supplied neck chain is a joke, just as the attached flimsy hook is. This model has been discontinued i think, for obvious reasons! I owned it and it was a piece of ****!
EDIT: i will ad a wel photos of the HTC Desire Hd in this pouch. IT will happens when it DOES.

Pic 1-4. shows the typical 'vent' case covers. These <supposedly> relieve the heat from the... COOORE. These are comfy feeling cases, they don't do much, their weight amunt to zero, and can be found in any color.
Pic 5-7: The WHITE vent case sent here was for a korean phone. Notice the antenna area, and the enlarged button areas, and the obviously showing MISSING protectionate corner on the right-hand-side (seen from the front).

Hi, are those hard or rubber cases?
Looks very cool, thanks for the ideas

Slim case, with front part that SEPARATES from back part?

Hi folks,
I need a slim design case with back and front protection (like Poetic Slimline Case), but I need a feature that I don't know if it's avaible on it or on similar products..and maybe you guys can help me out with this:
I need that the front part of the case (generally leather or textile) can detach from the back part of the case (rubber, or hard plastic).
The reason is that I will use the case for a car dash mount (fixing the back case on the dashboard), and when I take it off the dashboard (I don't want to leave it in the car), I can insert it in the leather part, so it protects the glass when i put it in my bag.
Someone can give me a clue?
Obviously, if I use a normal case with front and back protection (not detachable), I would have the problem that the front part of the case will cover my tablet (or other buttons on the dashboard if I lift it).

Best Leather Case I've seen: $12!

Not gonna lie. I know there are a few threads claiming that they have the "best leather case", and perhaps they are very good, but the one I ordered is also very top notch.
I ordered the case through here.
The package came in about a week, which is pretty decent. The case has a dual tone leather, brown and black, and the stitching pattern looks like a book. The back has a camera hole and speaker holes. It also has this little attachment at the back that I have no idea what is for. The leather is PU leather. The leather is also pretty darn thick too.
The inside has card holders, a strap for your hand when you're holding the case with the front flap flipped to the back, and two holder things I don't know what's for, but I bet for creative people you'll find a way to use it.
The pouch for the tablet is very secure, more secure than the other leather case I have. Normally cases have this plastic thing that snaps on to your Nexus 7, This case, however, has a stitched leather pouch around the tablet, and it has a velcro thing to secure the tablet in place so it can't slide out. The case has a hole in the front for the little LED light thing. The case also has a smart cover.
I've had this for about 2 weeks and I'm very happy with it. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a sophisticated leather case!

Ya the case does look sexie

Its look quite ok ok but not much impressive or elegant one...not a shopping material....

PU "leather" is in no way, shape or form actual leather. It is a disingenuous term used to confuse the buyer into thinking "PU" is a type of leather, which it is not. PU stands for polyurethane, which is plastic. Not leather. :good:

Its now, $8.99!

Nite Ize Clip Case Sideways review

I didn't see any information on here on the Nite Ize Clip Case Sideways XL (that's really the product name), so I'd thought I post a quick review.
First, a link to the manufacturer's website and an Amazon.com page:
http://www.niteize.com/product/Clip-Case-Sideways.asp
http://www.amazon.com/Nite-Ize-CCSXL-03-01-Clip-Sideways/dp/B00F36YKFC/ref=pd_bxgy_cps_text_z
Carrying my Nexus 5 - wrapped in an Ionic Guardian case - in my pocket just doesn't work. The phone is just too damn big. Wearing standard 4-pocket jeans, I doubt that I would be able to sit down with the phone in any of the pockets, and a set of keys would probably tear the face of the phone up. I will not wear a fanny pack, no matter how fashionable they are. Short of having a tailor sew an extra cargo pocket on all my trousers and shorts, I needed to find a better solution.
The Nite Ize Sideways XL definitely fits the Nexus 5 WITH the Ionic cover. It's a horizontal-carry only case. The case has elastic sewn-in the ends to check to the phone's horizontal movement; the phone lightly touches these stops, and horizontally it's a good fit. the vertical height of the case is about 1/4" (7mm) proud with the phone in and the velcro closure (more on that in a bit) centered; the case could be a 1/4" vertically shorter for a perfect fit, but there is some adjustment in the closure, so I can live with it. This case will probably fit most, if not all, Nexus 5 protective covers.
Features:
Colors: Black (purchased), Mossy Oak Break-Up Infinity (for dance night, I guess), and Espresso (a dark brown fabric with black trim).
Construction: The fabric appears to be ballistic nylon with faux-leather accents. There's an thin internal pocket on the clip-side of the case that can readily accept credit cards, identification cards, folded currency, etc. The exterior ballistic nylon is backed internally by soft fabric; the case covers the phone completely. The case appears very durable and protective for the phone. With the "lid" of the case closed, the case is locked "solid".
Clip: A fairly wide black plastic clip. It will easily fit a 2" (5 cm) belt. As previously stated this is a horizontal-only case; the clip doesn't rotate. One advantage of the fixed clip is that it creates a much thinner clip. The clip has a hook on the bottom; once it snaps over a belt, it stays put. I've had to fish my other cases (with phones in them) from the seats of cars and chair cushions because the act of sitting-down pushed the case up and off my belt when carried on the small of my back; no issue here.
Closure: Hook-and-loop (Velcro). Either you love Velcro, or you hate it. The folks I know who carry gear on their belts (military, police, rescue workers, corrections officers, etc.) swear by Velcro. I can live with it, it's just a little loud sometimes. It's probably not as loud as my annoying ringtone, so most people never hear the holster opening.
Cost: $13.49 (US), and free Super-Saver shipping.
Gripes: Not really any major gripes. One (minor) gripe would be the lack of a cutout on the bottom of the case so the wearer can push the phone up when pulling the phone from the case. The case is designed to protect the phone, so I can't blame the manufacturer. With the elastic sides and flexible ballistic nylon construction, I can slide my fingers between the interior wall of the case and the phone and pull the phone out of the case easily enough, so it's not really an issue.
Final thoughts: Nite Ize has a good reputation for making tough gear. Read reviews for any of their products; customers love the build quality and durability. It's one of the few options for carrying a hybrid-cased Nexus 5.

What Case for someone that wants it light and thin

Yeh I know there is a topic about cases which I have read somewhat but it's getting quite long int he tooth and still not convinced what case to get for my needs.
I am after a case that is light and thin. Would not consider anything that isn't, even if it has a great finish like Noreve etc (Had one for my S2 but it adds too much bulk)
My main areas of interest I would like are
- Thin (lots of the nice looking leather cases are thick
- Light (same as above)
- The amount and quality of how the case stands up is good
- Material feels nice to hold
Now I am looking at the following cases.
- Genuine Samsung
- Seems the thinnest and lightest
- The standup arrangements are fairly limited
- The flap doesn't stay closed when carrying it a certain way
- Expensive
- Poetic Slim
- Reasonable thin and light but not the same as Samsung case (can it be felt while holding???)
- I like the arrangement when it lies almost on its back and has the buttons and usb port at the top
- The flap stay shut by a magnetic when holding it
- Reasonably cheap
Moko Ultra Slim
- Looks OK but nothing stands out over the Poetic one that I know of???
Any other suggestions for a LIGHT and THIN case?

Heard that there are some issues with the digitizer and the magnets on the poetic. A few youtube vis have been posted....
Anyone confirm?

Poetic Slimline
I own (and use daily for over a month) the Poetic Slimline. It's thin, light and looks good. Magnets keep the flap closed nicely. I have had zero problems and I use the s-pen for sketching a lot. Even the edges of the screen show absolutely no problems. So I don't know if I am lucky or the others just have a faulty case.
The only thing I dislike is the flap as a stand. It works, but it doesn't feel as sturdy. I would have been better if it was more like those iPad covers.

I have been using the Poetic Slimline on the Note (in red, if that matters) for a couple of months as well. It is a very nice case and I have no problems to report regarding the S-Pen. However, there are a few things related to the lid that are starting to annoy me and have me investigating alternatives.
1. The magnets that are supposed to hold the lid closed are not strong enough. If I hold the tablet as if it were a notebook with the spine (the side with the capacitive buttons) resting on my palm and start walking, the lid will open by itself after a few steps. To prevent this, I now hold it on the opposite side so that my palm is holding the lid closed. If I hold the tablet by the edges with the lid facing down, the lid will not stay closed. I also own a Nexus 7 in a Poetic Slimline case and that one has no problems with the lid staying closed. I think the size of the Note may be too much for the magnets.
2. I am not sure I can blame this one entirely on the case, but I have observed some problems with inadvertent screen activation. Because the lid hinge is made of the same leather-like material, it is flexible and allows the lid to slide up or down along the screen while closed. If you slide the lid up by about 5mm, the screen will turn on even though the lid is closed. For me this happens most often when I carry the tablet (in the case) inside a backpack. Similarly, the lid is thin and flexible enough that the home button is easily pressed. There have been several occasions when I have pulled the tablet out of my backpack to find it on and with the S-Voice user agreement on the screen (I don't use S-Voice so have never set it up).
3. This is a minor aesthetic issue, but the tri-fold elements on the lid tend to not remain flush with the screen when closed; it is probably just the nature of tri-fold covers. Personally, I would prefer a single piece lid that could be folded back, even if that would mean losing the ability for the case to serve as a stand.
If it weren't for the items above I would be completely happy with the case. In fact, I love the Nexus 7 version of it. I just think the lid material and/or the closure magnets are too weak for the increased screen size of the Note.

Simply can't go wrong with the Roocase executive portfolio here: http://www.roocase.com/Executive-Po...--Black-rooCASE/cat-p/c1000122/p10519301.html
Great protection when you want it and light and slim when you don't. It comes out of the portfolio completely.

I ordered the Poetic slimline case in the end.
I had a quick look at the Roocase and saw the weight and thickness of it and it turned me off. Didn't realise it came out of the portfolio... Hmm, maybe consider that if I don't like the Poetic Slimline

how's the poetic vs the moko Ultra Slim Lightweight Smart-shell
