SGP Ultra Capsule Case Video Review
SGP website: http://goo.gl/0Kb3R
This case is available from SGP in 7 different colours for $16.99
This is a great high quality case and the material is a mixture between the soft silicone case and the hard case. I've used it for a couple of days and it's been great so far I've been impressed with the quality and the design.
For the full review please watch the video and leave comments and tell me what you think.

How does the case fair when dropped? Does it provide ample protection against drops?

The case will do a good job protecting the phone when you drop it or knock and bumps, it covers all the corners back so when you drop it the case should take the impact.

Does it fit VZW LTE GN extended battery?
This was revied with GSM GN right? I wonder if it would fit my LTE stock battery. :O

Check the other thread, the case does fit the LTE Nexus but not as well as it does the GSM version, it's not a perfect fit because the sides are kind of loose.

Hi guys,
Got my hands on the Case-Mate Pop, a hybrid style case that offers silicone and plastic molded into one. It is by far the best case I have tried out for the GS2 and I highly recommend you check it out, full video below. Thanks again for all the support, more videos to come!
Fixed the link, YouTube uploader cut original video short. Sorry guys!
Are you using this case in every day life or did you just put it on for the review?
I'm asking because I read in different forums that the quality of the sillicone bumpers on the Pop Case is rather poor. There were complaints about abrasion when carried in a pocket.
Thanks.
I stated that in the video. I've been using it for the past week.

thank you again ploone....keep up the videos
Great review! <3 from Houston.
This case for me is by far the best case I have out of the 4 I own, looks great with white glas and great protection. I love how the case fits around the edges, pretty much designed with Glas or any other screen protector.

Hi guys,
Haven't posted a video in about 5 days now so I thought you all deserved this little write up Got the review of the SGP Argos coming soon, hopefully this helps anyone out - feel free to ask questions below and i'll help you out !
Hard Shell Cases
SGP Ultra Thin Air– $24.99 – Thinnest snap on the back case on the market, adds virtually no bulk to the device. Unfortunately not as tight a fit as I would like, will offer no drop protection and the glossy backing gets smudged up very quickly. Do not recommend as the Case-Mate Barely There is a better option.
Video Review - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rZl8TqS9KQ
SGP Linear Pure Series - $24.99 – Hard plastic case comprised of a 3 piece split design. Great idea in paper but not well executed. The bumper pieces fit tightly but the back plate is loose. Will provide a moderate level of protection and style but cannot get past the loose backplate. Not recommended for this reason.
Video Review- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_WHK6l8n_wU
Mugen Power 3200 mah Extended Battery- $100- 3200 mah extended battery with replacement back cover. Battery runs like a champ, nearly doubling the performance of the stock battery. Back cover is textured so provides great grip and is comfortable to hold. Back cover does add considerable thickness and bulk and phone looks weird.
Video Review- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WLLNFWehfl8
SGP Argos Leather - $39.99- Real leather case featuring a front flap protector for the screen. Materials feel awesome, premium quality. Offers great protection and style. Front flap can be bothersome and annoying for some. Adds some bulk to the phone. Overall, good option for those that like the style, very classy and high quality but not all will like the style.
Video Review- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SuMtRx-3P2Q
SGP Neo Hybrid EX- $26.99- Bumper style case - two pieces that wrap around the phone's sides. Great design and look, very well built. Protection wise, you won't get much - should be used by people who don't drop their phones often, very minimalistic. A little expensive for what you get, but a good case nonetheless.
Video Review- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YAUGUdbJsXE
Silicone, TPU and Rubber Cases
Rearth Ringke - $16.99 – A silicone case coated in a high quality polymer which repels dust and lint as well as providing a smooth finish. Thin and flexible, could be a little tighter fitting onto the device. Cutouts and ports are great. Won’t offer much drop protection but does offer good scratch protection – a decent choice for average users.
Video Review - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8c0oLjVQ1A
SGP Ultra Capsule - $21.99 – Features a form factor similar to the Incipio NGP, although it is slightly thinner and more flexible. Buttons are much easier to press on this case – glossy/sparkly back looks good but can pick up fingerprints easily. Overall it is a decent choice, most should be pleased with it. Includes a Steinheil screen shield for screen protection.
Video Review- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLBIdZEfz9k
Incipio NGP- $19.99– TPU case with a soft touch finish on the back, comfortable to hold and grippy, offers a medium level of protection and cutouts are great. The major issue relates to the buttons being stiff and hard to press since they are full TPU and have not been cutout on the inside. Still a good choice for the average user, price point is good.
Video Review- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qPJG6NEgj-M
Hybrid Cases
Case-Mate Pop - $34.99 – Comprised of a hard, glossy plastic wrapped around silicone rubber, the Pop is a popular but pricey case. Looks fantastic until the plastic begins to scratch up and the silicone tends to wear off, these however are only visual issues. If you don’t mind the visual effects, the case offers great protection and is a good option. Built-in kickstand is good as well.
Video Review - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ORvVQmn57es
Otterbox Commuter Series- $34.99 – A two piece case made up of a soft inner silicone layer encased by a hard plastic spine. Spine has areas that are matte and others that are glossy, wish they’d all be matte. Glossy areas can be slippery and silicone attracts dust. Case is bulky but offers fantastic protection, can be pricey but highly recommended to those that need the protection.
Video Review - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KwNISYXJ3QI
Skins/Screen Shields
BodyGuardz Armor Carbon Fiber - $19.99 – Thin carbon fiber-like skin that is easy to apply and remove from your device. Won’t add much drop protection but do provide scratch protection to your device. Not meant for users who need protection, but rather those who want a stylish and unique alternative to cases. Included screen shield is a plus.
Video Review - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DyyfvvegDuU
SGP GLAS- $31.99 – Real Glass screen protector, offers touch and feel almost exact to that of the naked screen on the Galaxy S2. Will provide good protection as well, extremely easy to install since it is thick, includes home button protectors. Unfortunately, can reduce sensitivity on touchscreen while charging and is quite expensive for a screen shield. Cannot be reused.
Video Review - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RdkH9q8ZHBY
SGP Ultra Optics - $15.99 – High quality screen shield offering an anti-fingerprint coating while barely affecting screen quality. Extremely easy to apply onto device (plus you get 2 in a pack!) – has a slightly squeak sound due to coating, it can be annoying to clean off built up dirt over time. Most will be pleased with this shield.

I don't live with my parents anymore - we live in different countries, she's here visiting and I gave it to her so we could video chat
I'll be getting the AT&T version which is also 4.3 " screen and looks very similar but is missing the home button. I'm not sure if international cases will fit but I'm hopeful!
Glad to help you, thanks for the support

Haven't seen many of them in the USA or websites I frequent. I gave my Galaxy S2 to my mom so I won't be reviewing any more cases for the i9100, however I will be getting the USA version and continuing reviews there, sorry!
I've added the SGP Neo Hybrid EX to the list.
Giveaway coming soon.
Amazing summaries man. If you can, please post mini pics of the cases beside each review, so we can have a quick glance and know what we might want. Just a suggestion. Keep up the great work.
hey Ploone,
Do you think that BodyGuardz Armor Carbon Fiber would fit fine with extended 3200-3500 mah battery? Would the extended battery cover be fully covered like the normal one?
Thanks

Hi there,
I doubt it, it might still work well but I don't think it will cover the whole back. I've compared my Mugen to my original and the Mugen takes up more space since it extends outwards as well.

You're welcome.
Sorry I haven't updated the list in forever..I'll be getting the Galaxy S III for anyone else who plans on getting it and will continue my reviews for that device!
any body here using a combination of the zagg shield, neo hybrid ex case and the samsung 2000 maH battery... that's the setup I wanna use but would like to hear from someone if possible first
Right now the only option I have seen is the Case-Mate barely there case.
What other options are out there? I want them to be as thin as possible.
I have the i9100 global version.
There's nothing thinner than diabloskinz (see demos on youtube).
It will add "some" protection, without the added bulk of a full size case.
i use cygnett form.. very slim. you can also try capdase or momax
SGP ultra thin air, for a barely there feeling
I use incipio NGP case.
Tis niceeeee

I have a Momax ultra thin case. For this price it is really good - fits tightly and is rather grippy. If you want I can post some pictures of it on the device.
I want some pictures of momax, please buddy=]

x2! would like to see pics too!
Just bought this case from ebay.
Very slim but still I prefer a little thicker case.
I have the Nillkin one. Bought from here:
http://www.obostore.com/nillkin-ult...eplate-for-samsung-galaxy-s2-p-1004.html#show
It took some time to arrive but it's pretty good.
I have the Case Mate BARELY THERE frome here :
http://www.case-mate.com/Samsung-Ga...te-Samsung-Galaxy-S-II-Barely-There-Cases.asp
It's seems the same form factor as the Nillkin.
The price is different.
The case mate is like the back of my old htc Hero, very smooth.
You have access to all the buttons and you can put any Jack 3,5mm without conflicts.

How good it fits to the phone? Does this case scratch the phone?
Thanks!
Hey guys,
Got my hands on the Case-Mate Pop for the Galaxy Nexus, this is a one-piece hybrid case that features a hard plastic backing and silicone sides/inner layer. Although thick, this case offers great protection and is slimmer than some of its competitors such as Incipio Doublecover & Otterbox Commuter. It's pretty stylish and fits on the phone great, however scratches/fingerprints are an issue with this one.
Full review below:
Looks good I like
Major case design fail in that they omitted the cutout for the noise cancelling mic. Pass.

Yeah I failed to mention that since it hasn't affected me but I posted an annotation on the video. Still something people should know, but I hear they are releasing a second version with an improved design.
looks good but pity blocks mic another good video mate
Yeah it is! I've got the SGP Neo Hybrid review coming tomorrow so stay tuned for that!

can't wait for my Neo hybrid or your review.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
I emailed case-mate about the wrong cutouts and they are shipping one to me for free when they do release the revised case.
Just a heads up.
I am looking for something that will protect my nexus 5 from dropping.
I don't care about scratches on the back of the phone, I don't want to get a display protector, I'd like to keep a good grip on the phone (as the phone without case has), and I don't want to make the phone too much bigger.
Which case do you suggest?

Thanks for the videos. I eventually got the Amzer® Pudding TPU Case (http://www.amzer.com/Amzer-Pudding-TPU-Case-Black-P96256.htm).
It looks like TPU provides the best protection from dropping and this Amzer looks nice (even though I haven't found any review around)
