Hey guys, i recently bought a ringke slim (best case ever) and was very very pleased. my only gripe with it was that i missed the two different textures the phone originally had. I then was on amazon and stumbled across carbon fiber vinyl used on car interiors and thought it would bring me the two tone i missed (also considered skateboard grip tape).
attached are some pics, let me know what you think!
note: phone was really dusty from pocket-lint. I was in a hurry posting this, will post better / cleaner pics on request.
it looks awesome man....

The only case that does this phone justice, and rearthe are a great company.
Looks nice. Is there a coordinating holster that goes with it? Or which holster would work best? thanks

apparently there are no many options out there
the tmobile one is bulky and heavy
i found some on amazon which are light weighted and thin but they say the are not cut precisely especially at the button to the way that covers the mic
any idea ?suggestions ?
D30 is what a lot of people are using, Incipio just came out with some, Otterbox = no, Trident by the end of the month, and Seidio pretty soon.
Oh, I'm using the Body Glove Revel (T-Mobile) with a Realook and loving it.

what about the Belkin translucent grippable protection from target ?
Trident has always been a reputable case provider for my previous phones. Check out tridentcase.com. I believe the T-Mobile version will be out soon. Their cases are very stylish and protective in my oppinion.

My tpu case just came the mic hole seems to be properly aligned now. It wraps tightly around the phone no loose parts. its not a lint collector either.

I personally hated the D30... the power button was difficult to press with it on. I bought a $9 tpu from Amazon and IMHO think its a million times better... my Michael hole was off but nothing a razor blade couldn't handle. IV ordered the incipio feather case (more my style) and it should be here tomorrow. Ill post some pics when I have hands on.

Black. I always rock black... well, my white i9100 I had a silver breathe case.. but I like to keep it neutral. I LOVE the breathe case. As previously stated, not much in drop protection, but its slim and light and doesn't even feel like you have a case on at all... that's what I look for in a case... I hate the clucky stuff.

Yea, normally I do black too, but figured I'd switch it up for this.
I hate bulky cases too and just want something for a little added protection.

You can just try the white body body glove that tmobile is selling. It fits nice and very well. In my opinion its the best that I have ever seen.
The argyle tpu case fits suprisingly well for only 5 bucks shipped from amazon

I had the otterbox commuter for my sensation and loved it. For my s2 I was looking for something comparable, and the best so far I've tried is the incipio case. It comes with a rubber inner and a nice smooth outer hard case. Comes with a screen protector too. Very solid case, no complaints from me. Looks sharp too

I have the Ballistic SG case and I think it's the best protective hybrid case.
Everything feels solid, no loose fitting silicone, and looks cool. Pretty much a tank; I've dropped my phone twice since I've had it, and I haven't even flinched.
The Incipio Silicrylic looks nice (prob best looking hybrid), but in that video review I saw (posted in this forum), the really loose fitting silicone on the sides would drive me nuts. Plus I saw how the dude could pop the phone right out of the case like a cheap silicone case... wouldn't trust it on a serious drop.
I am using the white body glove case and no complaints so far.
D3O
the D3O Dual is very nice!!!!!!!!!
I too got the body glove case for my new s g s 2, but I've noticed that the front corners are exposed and vulnerable to damage if I drop it.
I got a purple Diztronic TPU case from Amazon & it's really nice. I also have the white body glove case, but I don't use it all that much cause I'm just not crazy about white :/
hi my fellow XDA members i recently have been going through cheap cases of eBay because i cant find the rite one.i bought one last night by diztronic and it looks promising,i also bought one called case mate i seen on YouTube and that also looks promising but expensive! im going to send one of them back.my perfect case would be a tight fitting gel that is durable but not tpu but more of a stiff gel.anyone come across anything that resembles that? thanks

Both are high quality TPU cases. Im using the Diztronic now. Have 3 Cruzerlites on order waiting to be shipped.The Cruzerlites have ridges on the side for grip and a cool android on the back. Diztronic is matte and gloss and offers good protection. May replace the diztronic after i get the cruzerlite...haven't seen anything like it.

I had been using the diztronic tpu version 1 until I got a rearth ringke slim in the matte black color. Haven't taken the rearth off since.
Casemate Tough or Otterbox Commuter coupled with Carbon Fiber Ghost Armor & your choice of screen protector. I've spent Alot of money on cases/skins and this is the best combo for me. TPU'S are also a great value for light protection but my daily setup is the CM Tough & Carbon Fiber Ghost Armor with a Ghost Armor screen protector. These companies customer service is amongst the best in the industry.

The Diztronic TPU case is awesome. I just got mine today and it fits nicely, no shifting cutouts are perfect and adds a good visual appeal to the phone.
i exchanged a noname TPU case for a casemate barely there and much happier about it...phone weighs almost half and case is good enough for light protection.
besides, it's quite classy, TPU or casemate tough don't do justice to the Nexus...
sgp Neo hybrid, its not even close

+1 The Matte Black back is much nicer than I had expected to be, and the glossy rim around the front bezel is very generous, and the overall feel of the case is quite classy IMO.
Hey guys I wanted to buy a case mate pop case cuz I like how it looks but I remember hearing somewhere on here that they aren't selling them right now because they are making revisions on them. I seen a few on amazon still and I been tempted to buy one but does anyone know what these revisions are? Like is there something really wrong with the cases?

The current 1G version doesn't have the hole for the camera's microphone. The CM Toughcase and Barely There version does. I don't know why it wasn't included in the first iteration. Laziness, perhaps?
I'm using the OtterBox Defender Case. If you're not a fan of bulky cases it's probably not for you but, it's perfect for what I need it for.
Damn. To me it does seem like laziness lol I guess ill just wait for the revision model

I just purchased this case, and I'm a little excited and concerned. Its a beautiful case( I got the white one), but I'm a little worried about the protection. Has anyone had any bad experiences with this phone? Or good ones too?

I didnt really like the case. The protection seems minimal and I had a lot of trouble taking it off and on at first.
It's an excellent case with awesome support and great protection. taking it off is a bit difficult the first couple of times, then gets easier. I love it.but there is a whole thread for it,I fail to see the reason to start a new one.

I just purchased the matte black Ringke SLIM case tonight since it's back in stock. I wanted the metallic one, but I rather not wait till May for it. Also ordered the 3 for 2 Cruzerlite TPU's just in case. always nice to have back ups and color options.

Don't worry about protection, I thought the same thing till I dropped my phone on hard concrete from about 4". My phone turned off that was it, not even a point of contact where the case meet the floor...I was shocked. At first I was worried that it turned off, but considering there's no absorbing material, I see why. It booted back up and no problems since, been about 3 weeks. I have the metallic one also and blend perfectly with the phone, I love it though.
And I went overboard buying the androidified tpu cases...I bought 8, awesome cases but haven't used then since I got the ringke slim.

Another case review for the S3, not one of my favourite but worth a look anyway.
Still got quite a few more to review and hopefully with the feedback I've had they should improve.
im not really a big fan of cases like that, i like the flip cases more such as leather flip case or the new samsung galaxy flip cases
ive pre ordered it and i cant wait for it to come!

I personally prefer the metal slim sandy effect one which I've also done a review on. The flip cases do look excellent though. Getting a tech21 case tomorrow to test. Feels really nice to hold

Beauty! Perfect! I love these forums, so many helpful users.
EDIT: Well, upon digging, those are covers that have cheap leather glued onto plastic housing.......would be nice to have that in real carbon fiber look/feel
I ordered one myself, so when I get it, I'll let you know the quality of it.
