Searching for a good case for the Tmobile Galaxy SII...came across this in ebay..is this any good?linky
Note: Im' no way connected to this seller, just that havent seen many hard cases and from the pictures these seem to be nice
i doubt it, i have a feeling this case only wraps around the sides of the phone, and not not the corners or front bezel of the phone.
i had something like this for my iphone and it only collected dust in the back and made more scratches on the back of the phone
if you drop it, your phone is gonna get F'd, which beats the point of a case.
yeah it looks nice, but i highly doubt the phone will land directly on it's back, on the case
if you want a good case, just get any TPU case, they're cheap and they dont scratch your phone

Check out this. Also located here.
Silver one with video review here.
OP, i was browsing on ebay and looking at that exact same one yesterday and i gotta say, although it looks nice and i was 2 heartbeats away from clicking buy, it isn't protecting much; other than the already safe rubberized battery cover.
I would love one that is the bumper wrap around found for the international SGS2.
Those are awesome looking.

Most cases are aesthetic anyway unless you drop your phone on a flat surface they are pretty much useless. Phone case looks great though.
Getting a metal case like this may impact your GPS and cell reception.

I've had one of these on my old vibrant. They're basically a clear hard plastic on the sides and is snapped on like the incipio feather cases. There is a slight indent in the back which is used for the aluminum "sticker" once the the aluminum is applied u won't see the indent and sits flush. The aluminum is a concentric pattern and pretty ugly in person. But that's my opinion.

I have to disagree with this. Most cases are meant to protect against daily activities. IE: Keys in pocket while walking, non caring when you put your phone down etc etc. Minor drops most cases will help against small dents and scratches as well. If a person is really worried about their phone dropping onto a hard service or really damaging it, then there are cases out there to help protect against such events. If things were aesthetic than people would just leave their phone on without a case.

thanks i was going to purchase as well, but was wondering if it would be crap as far as protection, looks wise its beautiful though.
wish someone made an aluminium case that provided full protection like the Trident or Ballistic ones, ever seen any like that??
can anyone post the actual picture of this case?

These have stood the test of time for me. Sleek and durable, used them on my Sensation without issue & have taken some major wallops and spills with the GS2. Supreme protection IMO

So, I bought the smoked colored TPU case because matte black was sold out. I like the case because it's small and doesn't add more bulk to an already huge phone.
My problem is that it's very slippery, I'd like something a bit more grippy but do not want the full rubber cases, I had a case mate on my old phone and I sometimes it was a pain to take out and put in my pocket, it would just come off of the phone..
The matte black TPU I heard was good, but will it be as slippery as the one I have now.
This seems to have decent reviews:

Thanks, but the jack info is a deal breaker. I use my phone every time I get in my car with the Aux input. It's my source of music, taking the case on and off every single time would be a big hassle.
If I don't get more replies I'll take my chances with the matte black TPU.

This is the next one I'm getting, thought I'd share it. They have other colors as well.
I'm pretty much a minimalist when it comes to phone cases.
I already have ghost armor film on the front so I just need a bumper that protects the side bezel, just like iPhone 4's. I'd rather not have back cover since I have a white gs2.
Is there anything like that available?
nothing, how about something like this?http://www.ebay.com/itm/Black-TPU-T...405692?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3cc0116ebc

I'm pretty sure D30 had release them. They had it where you can have the bumpers only, or with the clear back. I saw them while I was inside the T-Mobile store a couple of weeks ago. Not sure if they have it in all the corporate stores.
I'm surprised there is not many option available for t-mobile version gs2... I just ordered white version of elbarto's link though it's not exactly what I was looking for.will post picss once I receive it. thansk everyone
I take that back, it was for the Galaxy S 4G, not the Galaxy S II 4G
The D30 flex protect is the closest thing to a bumper for our phone.

Have you considered getting a clear TPU case? I also have the white GS2 and I ordered this case right here:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00620FT76/ref=oh_o02_s00_i00_details
Honestly, I think it looks ****ty on the black model, but I can vouch for it on the white one. It fits snugly on the phone and has power button and volume rocker cutouts. It's nice because it's totally transparent and you can see the white back. If anything, it just makes the phone look more badass.

Not taking any chances with this device. TPU cases offer minimal protection against drops, sure its cheap but I'd rather dish out the extra bucks for a reliable case. I have dropped my device many times already from carpet (not much to that I know ) to hardwood floors and the case has kept my device looking like new.

If you are minimalist, then you don't need a screen protector for your device. The screen of your device is pretty resistant (Gorilla corning).
For case, I am also looking for one, the thinnest I have seen are the carbon ones. TPU ones are a bit bulky IMO.

As someone who used the kickstand on my Evo OG a lot, I must have a case that includes a kickstand. Does anyone have any particular recommendations? I have used Seidio car mounts in the past, and they were very high quality and durable, but a bit on the heavy side (trade-off for durable I guess).

Oh man, I am so used to ordering everything from Amazon (or others) that I didn't even consider going to a store to get a case. I guess I was thinking that since the stores don't have the phones yet, they wouldn't have the accessories. Stupid thought process on my part. I'll have to go to a local store and see if I can find the case-mate.

How is it bulky? Its like 2 inches long and one inch wide. And doesn't add much thickness to the phone at all. When your fingers are in it, you won't worry about dropping it at all. I can easily reach all 4 corners of my screen with this baby. watch Qbkings review of it

I had it on my epic touch for a few weeks (before I quickly got rid of it) and it never felt like it was getting loose. It uses the 3m double sided tape, the same tape on the wall hooks that 3m makes that are rated to hold 5 lbs.
Another thing I like is that it lifts the phone speaker of the surface more so it doesn't dampen the ringer. That is partially annoying cause it doesn't lay flat on a surface if your using your phone laying down, but isn't a huge deal.

Guys, looking for something below with kickstand. I see some good options in this thread but they all make the phone pretty thick.
So far, I have been using
for my captivate
I just got this case in today. It is basically a really sexy blue brushed metal barely there case. It clips into place very securely and the cut outs are perfectly located. I posted below the ebay page to order it, I will post pics of my phone it soon.
The cons are a) that it is a little bit slippery compared to incipio surface case.
b) The power button is a little bit harder to access.
c) It does not offer the protection of a dual layer case on the top screen side. The frame only wraps slightly past
the screen glass. If it fell directly on theglass it would not offer the protection that a incipio surface case offers.
Pros: Beautiful color and finish, sleek and visibly appealing, lightweight and comfortable in you hand. Really show off the pebble blue version.

REAL metal ones make NFC impossible, and lower cell reception very noticabley (a bar or 2).
Pained metal ones, interfere with NFC, and seem to be just slightly noticeable for cell receptions (1-2 dB)

They're both the same case and are not actually metal. Just a plastic with a brush metal finish. Looks good but is quite fragile.
For $1, this case is pretty sweet. fits well, looks neat and doesnt feel like it would break easily.

it's nice but how is it affecting your reception? I like the look of these cases because they look sexy but I'm hearing so many complaints that it affects the phone reception and GPS.

signal has not been effected at all. Sucked before, Sucked after. Just kidding!
Seriously, no change at all.

They're both the same case and are not actually metal. Just a plastic with a brush metal finish. Looks good but is quite fragile.

It is a hard plastic, but it is firm and very sturdy. Not fragile at all.

Can you post pictures, also the inside on the case
(pictures) Someone has beaten me to it...
The inside has a felt lining, extremely sturdy and fits perfectly. Also has some rope detail around the camera cuts outs. Looks really sweet. I have had numerous comments on the case and should work perfectly with the new sgp curved glass protector.

Why did you pay $17 for it?:0 the case usually run up to $9 only. I think you should contact the seller and tell him its not as described because its not metal. Chinese sellers most of the time will refund you and let you keep the product.

That was the "buy it now" price, and time was limited. Compared to the $25-$30 incipio cases I figured it was an okay price.
I really like the case, so I will bid on the next one.

The back of my GS3 was too slippery for my liking, and I didn't really want to get a thin hard case, so I sprayed a thin layer of top coat onto the cover.
make sure to remove it from the device first, and tape a stick to it, so that it's easy to handle (you don't want fingerprints on it).
1 or 2 minutes later, that's all it needs to dry. enjoy!
Mine is too slippery, definitely, but I think I'd rather not spray paint it yet sounds like a neat concept though, kinda like that waterproofing technique they have for phones. Know any good cases for grip? I've looked around but most are too slick for me.

It's a clear coat spray. Looks factory... without the glossiness. I didn't post a photo... since it looks the same, just with a little more texture.

Or get a case. I use this. I'm not normally a case guy, but I like it. Makes the device grippy and feel like a tank.

Damn man, your making me want to send you a cruzerlite, Im totally not into cases also, and these cases are awesome. Not tank like, but raised lip for the screen, and grippy. I use the rootzWiki version atm, nice material.

I'm well aware of CruzerLite cases. They weren't available where I bought this, and I bought this to help out my local people. If I find myself dissatisfied over time I'll switch, but for now, I'm perfectly happy. I like the thing.

Simple black silicone. Easy one-handed use and no slip.

I'm using this case and could not be happier. It is not slippery at all, fairly rigid, has kickstand which is not obtrusive at all and costs only $6.95 with free shipping.
I think The Rock case has the perfect texture

In have this case too. Love it. Not very thick. Just enough texture to make it easy to hold.
The back that came with my extended battery actually kind of helps my grip since it makes my hands fit around the back of the phone more!

This one looks awesome. The only thing that concerns me is that it doesn't look like there is much of a raised lip on the sides of the screen. I'd be worrying about dropping it on the screen.

I've got one of these and i love it. Get a lot of compliments on it as well.. which is funny considering the price. Makes it very grippy but doesn't add any bulk.

i have the belkin bumper case and really like it. Here is a link:

I'm considering this because it shows off the deep blue color of the housing but I don't really like how it sticks. A matte coating may prevent this.
