im searching for after market cases and such.. i know the different carriers have different variants of the Samsung galaxy s 2... so Do the sizes differ?? do i need to specially find the Samsung galaxy s2 t-989 products?
I am pretty sure you do, because all the different S 2's have different corners, width, height and so on. Being off by a little will make the case not fit as it should. Make sure the cases/accessories are for the T989.
You can look at cases for the Skyrocket as well. I myself, is using the Otterbox commuter case for the Skyrocket. Fits like a glove.
Our Sgs2 and Skyrocket are pretty much the same device.

I know this has been dispelled in many many many other threads. The Skyrocket and T-989 similar is size and shape, but they are different enough that cases aren't cross compatible. The biggest issue that anyone will see right away is the position of the speaker on the back. T-989 is to the left, while the Skyrocket is on the right. The shape and size of the camera is also different, and the positioning of the ports is also slightly different.
I’ve had the two phones sitting right next to each other, the differences add up quick.

So I'm having a horrible time finding a case that I want...but I saw one that says its for the Epic Touch 4G - looks very similar to ours...will the cases fit??
no T-Mobiles SGSII is more rounded the the Epic 4G Touch i don't think cases would be interchangeable
The only Galaxy S II that is very similar in design would be the T989D (Telus) variant.

I have bought a few already, there is literally thousands of choices.

i wish people would stop saying this
the speaker on the back of the phone is on the opposite side of the phone ... among other differences
I have a friend who has a skyrocket with a case, so i was able to compare. Couple differences:
1. The speaker is on the other side of the phone (meaning if you use a skyrocket case itll cover the speaker).
2. The Camera is actually slightly bigger on the tmobile version vs the skyrocket, so again, the camera won't fit in the hole in the case.
3. The tmobile version is slightly thinner. This in itself isn't enough to make the cases not fit, although they won't fit snugly. (Granted with number 1 and 2, though, this is a moot point.)

Beware of ebay cases though, I've bought a few & none of them have fit. There seems to have been an issue with the dummy phones the manufacturers used to make them, all the cases I've gotten were either too loose or wouldn't stay snapped shut. I've gotten refunds and the sellers have told me that the manufacturers are issuing recalls of the defective cases & are working on fixing their molds, so I'd actually stay away from ebay for a while unless its for brand name stuff like d30, ballistic, body glove, incipio, etc...
My girlfriend has this phone, obviously being the TMo SGSII.
She saw I'm looking to get a otterbox defender for my Rezound I'm getting, she wants to know if there's one for her phone, I looked on Amazon and they exist for the international version and the AT&T version, would one of these work or is there one specific for this version? Thanks.

You could go on ebay and check out the ballistic or the trident cases. But they dont have that plastic screen protector. But honeslty the screen protector interferes with the touch

It works decent.
Seidio active case is another great option.
Unless you really, really need to have an Otterbox, don't buy the Infuse Otterbox for use with this phone. You'd be supporting a company that explicitly considers our phone to be unworthy of a case. Instead, I would encourage you to support one of the other companies who make cases specifically for our phones.

I really like my Trident. It definitely increases the size of the device, but it feels safe, I've dropped it a few times from decent heights without any noticeable scratches or wear, and just fits in the hand right. Definitely worth the price.

If she'll settle for something like an otterbox, I would suggest getting her one of these- http://www.ebay.com/itm/150738046136?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649 I just got one & it's just as solid as any otterbox I've ever seen. Much cheaper too, and it comes in a bunch of color combos.
And I agree about not supporting otterbox too. Why give money to a company that thinks our phones aren't important enough to make cases for(even though they're one of T-Mo's best selling phones)? Jerks. I had an OB for my HD2 & to be honest, it wasn't worth the money. The silicone got all stretched out within a month & the screen protector stuck to my screen & caused oil-slick distortions.
So does anyone make a case with a built in screen protector for our phone?
I have read as many threads as I can find...plus I have done a lot of Googling...and I cannot find a case with a built-in screen protector for our phone. I know some people don't like them, but I am a huge fan of the Otterbox Defender and that is what I am looking for on my phone. I don't feel like I can ever get the individual screen protectors on correctly, and even a teeny tiny piece of lint or bubble makes me crazy...and then the sides start coming up. All of my friends and family have 4 or 4s with Defenders (plus my son has an iTouch4 with a Defender), and the touch sensitivity is great. Does any brand make a case with a built in screen protector for the T-Mobile GS2??
Thank you!
p.s. The guy who has modified the Infuse Defender case is brilliant, great innovation! But I am not up for this. I want one made specifically for this phone w/a built-in screen protector.

Hi - could someone advise me which case would fit the Telus Samsung Galaxy S2 X?
I am in the U.S. and bought this phone but need a case.
Would one of the popular ones from Amazon fit?
Thanks!
if you phone the same as t-mobile galaxy s II, look here
Well that's the Issue, I was hoping someone here would be able to tell me if it is the same and same cases apply.

Yes, the same cases for the T-Mobile T989 will fit the T989D for Telus perfectly.
I ordered my Seidio Active Case with Kickstand and Holster from the US and it was specific to the T-Mobile T989 model and it fits perfectly.
The phones are identical, the only difference is the writing on the front of the phone. Mine says Samsung at the top and nothing at the bottom, just the settings, home, back and search buttons. I believe on the T-Mobile model it says T-Mobile at the top and says Samsung at the bottom. Other than that they are the same phone.
If you have doubts you can always walk into a t-mobile store. I'm sure they have a live unit on display you can hold your's up to for comparison.
They are 100% the same
As stated above, the only cosmetic difference is the T989D just says "Samsung" at the top of the screen where the T989 is branded "T-Mobile"

Thanks for the feedback, I went with the TPU best selling case for this phone from Amazon to just keep it simple
I'm looking for an extended battery set with cover for the T989D (samsung galaxy S2X)
Of course the market has only sets for the T989 minus the D.
Are you saying that the dimensions of T989 and T989D are similar enough such that the battery cover will interchangeably fit?
PDADB.NET seems to indicate otherwise, as the dimensions indicated are different.

They are physically the same phone. I believe I have a seido (sp?) 3800 ext battery and case if interested. Otherwise, I have a BNIB CDMA Gnex ext battery that will fit with stock cover.. some may need Minor mods. but if using a case then doesnt really matter.

what case do you have working with the T989D with extended battery? (just to clarify, case = full body case, NOT a battery cover).
i know this is a long shot but i just bought the Galaxy Nexus from Google directly , and i would like to know if its possible to get a case that will still let me use the official Samsung dock?
thanks for your help
Would love to know as well. I've always wanted a dock but assumed that me using a case prevented that.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I don't think any of the cases fits with the official dock.
I am curious if the GN still fits in the dock with a skin on it (like XO-Skins full body or idefense carbon / skinomi etc)
check 0.2 mm ultra thin case on ebay im using it, it offers scratch protection only tho but it is thin like no case at all and surprisingly the cutting is really good for a low price like $2 or 3
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
Probably not. The dock is perfect fit. Even with zaggs or similar types. Then the even bigger challenge is getting pins to reach pins because the case will separate the distance further. Some serious modding will have to be done to get this to work. Or just do it the old fashioned way. Take case off. Insert phone. Take phone out. Put case back on. Simple and elegant.
sent with 3g courage. better recognize. 4g courage coming soon. stock up on diapers.
None that I know of. Funny thing, most cases have openings for the pogo pins.

Funnier still is that some of the third party micro USB docks have removable inserts that allow you to dock the phone with and without a case.
Bang-up job on that dock design, Samsung.

I have the TELUS SGH-T989D
My question is, will the T-Mobile SGH-T989 Screen Protectors/Cases fit my Telus version?
and secondly what sources/brands do you recommend (esp to hide not so deep scratches from being a drunk dumbass and putting your phone in with your keys).
Thank you in advance.
Yes, they are identical devices in every physical way.
I have always liked Zagg InvisiSHIELD protectors personally, though they can be a real pain to apply. As for a case, I just got a typical $15 TPU case at the mall. Works great, though I know it won't withstand getting run over by a car... I generally just plan to not have that happen.

Only difference i can think of right off is simply the 989D has 'Samsung' logo above screen, t-mobiles has T-mobile (duh.. lmfao)
(Besides software that is..)
I though the telus one doesn't come with cornering gorilla class and the t-mobile one did.
There is a weight difference between the two devices and also size of the device have different measurements but not by much.
"Dimensions t989:129.8 x 68.8 x 9.4 mm t989d:131 x 67.3 x 9.4 mm"

I recently got the Telus T989D and have had 3 T989 screen protectors hang over the edge - maybe they were made wrong from the company because the Telus device seems to be taller, but it's strange they all fit the same way.
2 were from BodyGuardz and the third was just a cheap one from a local market where I got my cheap TPU case. I didn't expect the cheap market one to fit but highly surprised the BodyGuardz ones didn't, and unfortunate because I like those ones and applied it perfectly both times besides the size being too long. I would very highly accept a few mm too short but too long opens up a gap that dirt can get underneath and rub, and an edge to catch and pull up.. neither of which I want to risk
I will try the site linked above and see if they are any better :/
Yes, they will fit. Get either an ArmorSuit or Skinomi.
