I was wondering if anybody knows whether or not the SGP Neo Hybrid cases properly fit the galaxy S II from t-mobile or if they are too small or a little bit large since all the different versions of the phone don't have the same dimensions.
It fit fine on day one, but has since sagged in the back and is loose as hell now. The material just doesn't hold shape well.

I agree, the silcone expanded alot and the plastic even reshaped abit. This happened to my friend with this case to. Not recommended.
I can also confirm this sagginess. Not recommended at all, same goes for the other SGP silicone skins.

ive emailed SGP about this issue and they said the warranty covers it so you guys might want to return it to them and ask for a replacement
what did you guys do to your sgp hybrid
ive had a dante red one for ags now and take it on/off once a day to swap batteries and it still isnt sagging at all?? infact its a very nice case and protects the sgs2 really good
it even fits the 2000mah battery and new back cover
its my fave case and sgp offer warranty on any mis-shaped silicone and will send out a new one so stop complaining about them and just use the warranty if you have had problems
like i say ive had mine months now and it is fine and it gts taken on/off once a day
i say buy one , its the best case going for the sgs2

I have the yellow Neo Hybrid on my phone (have for months now) and can confirm the sag in the back. I've tried to use the warranty, but I used Cretouch (authorized reseller of SGP products) and their warranty replacement is only for 30 days, and SGP won't honor the merchandise they produced.
And yes I've read the policy and can see that in my case it wouldn't be covered (so I'm up chocolate creek without a popsicle stick) but doesn't make it a consumer-friendly experience.
If you do decide to buy it, buy it directly from SGP so you have their warranty.
I got mine a couple of months ago, and after a month or so it started sagging at the back.
Also, the frame doesn't even fit tight on my S2, so it feels very flimsy... I went back to using my Momax i-Case Pro.

did you buy a cheap fake though dude
ive just posted about cheap fakes here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20836215#post20836215
the fake ones do collect dust , the genuine ones have a coating to the silicone which means they dont collect dust at all
my dante red sgp hybrid is completley dust free , the fake ones i bought seem to collect dust out of the air let alone in your pocket mate
i say buy a genuine one , these cheap fakes are worst then a £1 case from ebay , they just have sgp branding on them , its like branding a old robin reliant with a dodge viper badge or something
please dont let the poor fakes put you off they are nothing like the genuine sgp cases , as i said above the sgp cases have a coating to the silicone and they are one of the only silicone cases that actually dont collect dust , however these fakes are obvously cheap and dont have that coating hence the dust collecting like anything

Hey guys i just got this case in the mail today. Its called the Seidio Active, it is half silicon and half hard plastic the hard plastic has a nice rubberized grip to it. It feels like a nice strong case, but i haven't gotten to test it out yet,and dont plan on anytime soon! Its doesn't make the phone too bulky it says its only 2.2mm thick with the case on.
Its a little pricey at $30 but you might be able to find it some where cheaper. http://www.seidioonline.com/samsung-epic-4g-touch-s/6971.htm
Some attached photos to see what it looks like
seems like it's a good case and does provide some protection against drops. Might get it if I can't find a cheaper case like this.
I use this case and its excellent ibe dropped my phone a couple of times and its done well I just wish it was available in different colors and I got it for around 15$ on amazon however I don't know if its still on sale for that price

I got my Seidio Active yesterday and love the case. It's light but still tough enough to protect the phone in case of a drop. It raises the camera and screen off whatever surface you lay it on and also covers volume/power buttons. Would highly recommend!
+1; I owned an HTC Inspire 4G before I left AT&T for Sprint, and I had a Casemate Tough Case on that, which I loved. Since Casemate didn't make that case for the Nexus S 4G, I settled on the Seidio, and fell in love with it. Now I have one on my Epic 4G Touch, and I couldn't be happier. I was worried about my phone not fitting in the universal adjustable dash mount I have, but it fits even with the case.
This case also comes with the holster option, right? If so, does anyone have the holster? I ordered the device and have been lookimg for a case to purchase.

I ordered Mine after I ordered My E4GT, Got My case in the mail 2 days after I got the phone, Love how it Protects my phone and actually doesn't add too much bulk plus it adds grip so the phones not slipping every which way. It was either this or the Surface, which I have had a bad experience with when I had my EVO 4G, lets just say I'm glad that the silicon won't scratch the phones case unlike the hard shell of the surface.
Loving it
I've always loved Seidio's stuff! I got an Active case and holster for my dad for an HTC that he's got, and finally tracked down one on eBay for $30 (used/unused - accidental purchase by original owner) for my Sammy. Just got it today, and while it seems like the rubber part might attract a little lint, I think I'm going to be very happy with my purchase.

Yet another video review, I do quite like this case. Any feedback is more than welcome.
What's peoples experience on scratching?
I bought a similar generic TPU case from amazon, although it is OK, I am worried about the amount of dust that collects around the rim of the case/phone.
I have had bad experience before with gel cases, which I think are exactly the same as these TPU cases, with my Galaxy S1, where lots of dust got trapped under the case and eventually caused alot of scratching/abrasion on the shiny plastic case of the phone.
What is everyone elses opinion on these types of cases, or any cases for that matter for getting dust trapped under it?
I have just purchased some of those XtremeGuard full body protectors for my S3, but to my disappointment they do not cover the silver rim around the phone. Has anyone else had scratches on the silver bit yet? If so how easily is it scratched?
Overall I do sound a bit OCD, but I hate getting scratches on my phone as it just wrecks the resale value!

Genuine or not?
Hi Oli2k.
I bought this case from chinese seller on ebay.
I just think mine is not genuine cause there are no rubber caps in the flaps that go INTO connectors. Also there is a text "GalaxySIII" on the back of the case.
I am pretty sure this is not genuine case but the seller claims it is.
In a picture of the case on cover of the packaging is also a text "GalaxySIII".
Someone else have it?

Product pictures are genuine(same as mobilefun), but the case itself is different.
I bought mine from amazon.com and there are no flaps that go INTO the connector, just covering the connector...
as for the GS3 print, I think the international version of the case has the print, because the battery cover does not have the GS3 logo.... the US version does not have the logo on the case as there is already one on the battery cover....
Yours looks genuine to me

Is it just me or do you guys also spend AGES looking at case after case?
Basically i dropped my phone S3 on Sunday and cracked the screen, today i got it repaired so i now want a case/cover that protects over the edge front of the phone. But i don't to add massive bulk or for it to look too ugly.
Im thinking of getting the Otterbox commuter or the Ballistic lifestyle smooth, which one you guys think would better suit? or is there an alternate case better?
I know its been asked loads so apologies in advance.
Your not the only one. I'm a flashoholic and a caseoholic lol and very very picky with both.
My favorite sk far is the Incipio NGP. I love it. The lip should be plenty to protect from most drops and it adds very little bulk and gives the phone a really high quality feel. The right balance between slippery for pockets and grip for when your holding it.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
My vote goes to the Incipio NGP as well. It is less thick than the GS2 version, but this reduced thickness (0.7mm) makes the phone quite a bit thinner compared to the S2 situation. Feels slick and slides easily out of pockets. Overall one of the best simple TPU cases around, although it is not exactly cheap for just a TPU case.
Naked is best

Do phone shops stock all sorts of cases out there or do you have to order online? would be nice to try before you buy, none of the shops here have anything decent...

I think most order online. Or at least I do. You'll find a decent selection at most stores but they all have different ones so if you could make it to like an att sprint and Verizon store you should see quite a lot. Online always has a better selection though

not due my upgrade yet, still on s2 but been searching for ages for a case to suit my needs when my s3 comes.
the best I think for me so far is the Acase Superlegerra Pro. looks like exactly what I need.
Hard to choose, right? The Paradox of Choice.
I actually bought too many cases (again) because I couldn't decide. Got various TPU cases from ebay, and Cruzerlite, and the popular hard polycarb Rock case, but finally settled on a so-called hybrid case: the Incipio Silicrylic dualpro, as it provides the best protection, grip, and looks, without adding too much bulk.
(Looking forward to Incipio's future cases for the Nexus 7 too)
I was also in search for a case for more than two weeks. At last I settled for Acase Superlegerra Pro. Lot got good reviews and value for money.
Also providing the same level of protection of a Otterbox commuter.
I have looked at reviews and posts (thanks the_Biz) to finally purchase the Case Mate Tough which is presently being delivered by Amazon. My next step is to select a protective screen which I have not decided but it may be the Ultra Crystal for its 4H hardness and compatibility with all cases. Now I am searching for a couple holsters the horizontal and vertical possibly the Reiko and Active holster respectively but I need to review further for quality and compatibility. When all the above is completed I will order the phone and should not worry about cracking the screen like you had experienced
I got the trident ageis and it works pretty well. I always keep my phone in a case but what did I do I took it out to put on a new screen protector and it slipped out of my hand and landed face down. Luckily there was no damage and I put it right back in!

Living in the UK, the main issue I am finding is that you guys in the US get the best cases!!
Yeah I hear ya, but for the moment I'm going with the otterbox commuter case since I have had good experiences with them
Later on next month I'm a customized case mate
I have 5 cases already. The Neo Hybrid in Infinity White, the silver SGP Ultra Thin, the Glacier Otterbox Commuter, a white/ red silicon/hard case from eBay, and a clear case that I got with the phone. And I'm always on the hunt for a good looking case lol

Verizon threw in a free case when I upgraded to the S3 which is brilliant because it covers their logo
Slim I'd say reearth slim takes it over case mate barely there. I have both.
I think the seidio active is awesome although for all the case conversations on xda I never see people talk about it for this phone. Definitely better than the spigen lumi for hybrid cases. Again I have both.
And u can get a kickstand on the active if that's how u roll. I did..
Those are the four have bought so far. Problem? Prob..

I have a Fosmon PC+TPU case and an Otterbox defender. I use my phone all day every day for work and switch my batteries out so I use the Fosmon for everyday work use. It comes off easily and protects the phone from everyday use and is cheap as hell. The clear back is flexible and the grips on the side even more so and hold well so far. You can see through the back if you have white you can see the Samsung S3 logo. The Otterbox is when I finally get the hell out of my house, and it does the job but is a pain in the ass to change batteries compared to the Fosmon. There are plenty of reviews of the Defender so you dont need to hear my 2 cents. I opted to spend more on a beefy case with cheap one for every day, it suites what I need very well and if the Fosmon ats $5.88 lasts 6 months I'll be happy.
Hello wonderful people of xda dev !
My wife brought a galaxy note 2 about a month ago. We only bought a flip case as she never drops her phones. However, unfortunately a week after buying her new phone she dropped it, smashing the screen and digitizer .
She really needs a decent phone, so i'm going to buy her a brand new one. I'll keep her broken one as i will probably buy a new digitizer and fix it.
Now i need to buy her a case so IF it happens again, hopefully the phone has more chance of staying in once piece. I showed her the Otterbox Defender case and although she can see it's really good, she thinks it's extremely ugly. (Typical wife)
If there any cases out there that are just as, or more so, protective as the defender case that might appeal to a woman?
Any help would be greatly appreciated
See if she likes the wallet style variations that are available.
Thank you for the suggestion. Looking at the wallet style cases, they don't seem to offer the protection that she would need. Ideally it would need to protect the phone if it got dropped. she would be devastated if she dropped it and the screen broke again.
Unfortunately, I don't think she can have her cake and eat it too. The Otterbox Defender may not match the purse, but it's the only case I'd trust to protect it from impact damage.

Just an update. i'm on the coveroo website and they offer the Otterbox Commuter case with different covers. Is the Otterbox Commuter just as good as the defender? I was thinking also of buying the Ghost Glass from MIME as an additional layer of protection, (hopefully fits with the Commuter)
Also has anyone else used coveroo before?

Your Note and Case. Good starting point for your wife and you to start. Over eleven hundred posts, most of pictures of the cases with the GN2.
I guess the question is how much protection to you want or need. A simple TPU case could be sufficient. I've dropped a couple times, anywhere from a three to six feet on concrete, tile, asphalt, to carpet, and no notice damage with on a TPU case. If you find a case that's appealing, then you a post/person to ask what they think.
I was thinking about getting Samsung Protective Cover for Galaxy Note 2 which is like the Samsung official protective case but also get the Ghost Glass Screen from MIME. Anyone every used the samsung protective cover? I've seen lots of positive reviews for the ghost glass screen..

Yes! This!!! I have the exact same case its amazing! Like nothing can destroy this phone with this case!
I used a SGP Neo Hybrid since more than one year but a few month ago the polycarbonat frame is broken so I buy this one:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Book-Wallet...-Samsung-Galaxy-S3-III-GT-i9300-/271210987593
And I'm total happy with this Case since 2 month!
After trying about 10 cases of varying materials , shapes and sizes I chose the fake Neo Hybrid case since the origional doesn't seem to be available anymore. Build quality is quite good for under 10 bucks and if it breaks itll be cheap to buy another.
UAG is the best!! Very good quality and build. Using it with a 0,4 mm glass screen protector. Beats the plastic ones by a 1000 miles.
+1 on the bodyglove shocksuit!! The shizz.
Spigen neo hybrid now, had an Otterbox commuter for the last year. Like them both but I prefer the Spigen
Got to agree body glove is the best. Good price and doesn't make the phone to big and bulky.

Oh my god yes. the UAG case is really nice. The one thing I do dislike is that the lettering on the back came off within the first week of having it. Still recommend for durability. Btw those who want the case, Slate is a lot closer to the natural GS3 blue than you think!

most of the fake UAG case sell cheap and have letters failling off or just painted on it not mentioning the quality is not the same at all.
im not saying you brought fake one but just sharing some experiences.
also my fav case is indeed a UAG one (Scout/black) i got it from Ebay for 24$ port inclusive from a Belgian seller, i did some investigation because even if its only 10 bucks less than the official store its still suspicious, i did sent some detailed pics of the case and box info/bar code and according to the customer service : it's a original one, nonetheless i spared 10$ on it but i didnt got custom taxes.

Wow, I didn't know they sold many knockoffs. Mine was direct from Amazon through UAG. I think I just have oily skin which made it easier to reduce the sticky solution for the lettering. Thanks for letting me know of that! I might get another just to have more color selection

Otterbox Armour is a close second, but the lifeproof is more practical for everyday use, as it's more pocketable and wireless charging works through it.
