Whilst wandering around today, not really in search for accessories for my phone, but after cutting a iPad screen protector and it looking rather ugly, I happened to come across this pack in a Vodafone retail store.
It was $19.95, and they only recieved it today. It includes 2 screen protectors, 1 clear hard care, and a grey silicon case.

The clear case is good, doesn't add much to the overall phone, whilst leaving all the keys available, the silicon case is a good fit, but makes the power button rather stiff when you are trying to press it. The screen protectors I'm going to apply tomorrow, when I'm not so drained.
Definitely worth the $19.95, considering its the only pack I've been able to find!
Hi can I know where suburb did you purchase this? Do you think this is available in victoria too?
Temptation got the better of me, and I've just applied the screen protector, screwed up the first one without thinking correctly ... :-/ .. but I've applied the other one, just waiting to see how it goes.
It was purchased in Western Australia, won't say which store because I know some of the staff are on this forum, and I'm the first person to buy one from them, don't want them possibly getting swarmed by nexus adopters ;-).
It should be available in Victoria, but you might have to ask for it as they might hold the stock back for their launch, but who knows.
Got it! How is the screen protector that comes with it? is it clear/ultra clear? do you notice any haze or rainbow like pixels on it when installed?
Screen protector is excellent, only thing I think is that it might be about a millimeter small, but nothing too bad.

Hey guys just picked this case up on Saturday. Got it from the mall. Pretty sure this brand is the kind that you see at all those little mall kiosks that sell cell phone accessories. Anyways, the case is pretty much perfect. It is slim and painted matte black. The matte color lets you grip the phone way better than the stock gloss backing.
I had the original T-Mobile silicon case and I couldn't stand the bulk and how it would not slide into my pocket. This case is opposite in every way to that case. Slim and not sticky.
All of the buttons and the micro slider are VERY easy to access. No trouble what-so-ever.
I have the link posted to the manufacturer, but I don't see the exact case I have listed. Weird. The woman in the mall also had crystal clear and a black smokey version.
Hope this helps some of you guys who are waiting for the SGP. I couldn't wait any longer. I paid 20 for this case. I totally got scammed, they go for like 10 bucks on the net, but I couldn't wait.

i have the same case i got mine from cellaris
I didn't like this case because after taking it on/off a few times, the right side where the power button is started to creak whenever i pressed on it. I guess its not a big deal considering that its les than $10 on eBay, but it was kind of annoying for me.
Oops, thought this was different case till i looked closer. Looks decent but not a fan of the split case design. Tend to wear out quickly.
Ok, So a few months ago I bought zagg invisible shield for my MyTouch 4g. I followed the installation instructions and it looked pretty good. The next day the screen protector had developed very noticeable black 'streaks'.

This was obviously quite upsetting as they were quite distracting and I cant get them to rub off. I dont think they are on the outside though. I was able to replace it with the warranty, but shipping was pretty harsh and I had to ship it to an friend in the US and have them mail it to me so I could avoid some of the shipping cost. Anyway, I got it, watched the installation video again, cleaned the screen thoroughly and applied it. I then waited about 16 hours before using the device as per the instructions. THE SAME THING HAPPENED!!! The streaks developed after about 3 hours of use! Does this happen a lot with Zagg protectors? I would not recommend Zagg to anyone at this point. Sure they replace it for free but the product is not good based on what I've seen. I am not going to do the warranty again unless I know what I'm doing wrong because it is going to cost me more in shipping. Perhaps someone can recommend a product that doesn't do this or tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks
zaggs are IMO overrated and a pain to install. I buy the inexpensive ones off ebay (5 for $1.70) and they haven't let me down

Zaggs are more difficult to apply correctly than mustard to a hot dog.

I'm not sure I follow. Isn't mustard quite easy to apply to a hotdog?
I ordered one from bestskinsever. Lets see how that goes...
I said in another matte thread I bought this a few days ago and will post what i thought of it. I used it for about a day and here's my review!
short version: don't bother. It doesn't fit right, had to trim it. major rainbow noise on bright screen.
long version:
I tried to fit the screen for around 20 minutes, couldn't get it right, best i could do is this:

I am going to have to trim it with scissors.
When the screen is off, it looks REALLY nice. but the rainbow noise is pretty bad, i tried to take a picture of it but it doesn't really show how bad it is.
Now I know for a fact that not all matte screens are like this, because i have a matte screen on my HP touchpad and it is NOWHERE near as bad, you can only see rainbow effect if you look closely.
in case you need to know where i bought it, so that you don't.

personally i will still keep it, because playing games with this surface is still way better than without. And when i play games, i don't notice the rainbow problem. But i keep an eye out for a better matte screen.
haven't others posted on this forum about not buying this type of protector for AMOLED screens because of exactly what you're saying...?

Guys,
Me and my GF both bought an S2 (at an incredible price :highfive and we went to a mall to buy a cheap cover. My GF found a purple one at TheSource (RadioShack in Canada) and I found a black one at BestBuy. Both are Casemate Barely There. Notice the difference?

With the black one the camera is less protected, but the biggest problem was to access the power button, because the plastic is a little bit thicker on the black one, it was difficult to press power. I did a refund at BB and went to TheSource to buy the last one they had for the S2, yeah it's purple but kind of dark purple so it's okay
in case someone is interested

This may be out of topic, but have you tried iLuv cases? They're pretty good too. Pretty much like casemate's barely there cases, but with style :thumbup: your gf may like it

The black one was probably the first version. I bought the silver one that is similar to the black one, just at the launch of S2.
Yeah, it doesn't protect the camera well which is why I ended up ditching it.
thanks
I bought the black one before. It ended up cracking and chipping in multiple places for reasons I dont know.
I bought this Case Neo Hybrid Samsung Galaxy S2 and its very good especially againsts the drops

PET Screen Protectors are also available
I have ordered the Style Swap cover from Amazon and Oneplus glass screen protector the same should arrive tomorrow. Will post image and review as soon as I get my hands on them
So today I got two accessories the style swap cover and the glass screen guard from OnePlus.
So what are my views on the style swap cover well I would say it good but its not vow and the reason could very well be that I am not wooden panely type guy but a fibre carbon type of guy hence it could matter of tast.
However please note that I am no waying that the cover is bad its good however it does not for me stand out.
The fit and finish is excellent and it has two connectors i guess its for some sort of antenna which is built between the plastic bottom and the bamboo top.
Images of the cover are below more will be posted tomorrow

i dnt like the wood either but like the fact your phone looks so different. Does this protect the phone in anyway? Im careful enough not to drop my phones but i like them looking almost brand new so i can sell them a year later and upgrade to the latest model

No these wont protect the phone in any way you will need a good qulaity transparent bumper cover to protect the phone
