Aluminium case for Galaxy SII..

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?

Case with Kickstand Recommendations?

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).
Anyway, I see two cases I'm interested in.

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.

Otterbox Top Quality
I've owned three Commuter cases (for Samsung Captivate, Infuse, and Note) and you can't beat them for the protection.
The only issues I have had are how the clips are attached to the plate. Twice I've had them break on me, BUT, Otterbox has been very prompt at sending me a FREE replacement. I also have to say that each time I was leaning in such a way that I was putting pressure on the belt clip, so I can't entirely fault the clip. Since they replaced it (promptly), I have no negative feelings.
Although they are a bit pricey, you can definitely see why they do cost more. I would HIGHLY recommend them. They give your phone top-notch protection. :good:

I bought the case today and compared to the case mate tough this provides much more protection however it does the phone slippery due to the hardcover having minimal grip. The biggest gripe I have with this case is the power and volume rockers are really difficult to press and I have contacted otterbox about it and just awaiting reply now.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium

Anybody using the commuter in a car mount yet ? If so which one, and any chance of a few piccies ?
Also, does the thickness of the case interfere with the NFC at all ?

I didn't have an issue with the grip of the case but the buttons are a big problem. I did point it out in my review. The trident case is a lot better button wise.

A lot of people have been interested in the differences between the commuter and trident aegis cases so I'm about to film a quick comparison

great review, I have been searching for a gal s3 specific otterbox review and haven't found any... until now.
That is an issue re the lovely sleek lithe lines of the s3 being covered and ruined by protection, but as has been said, thats the trade off i guess.
I am having a really hard time deciding between a few cases. Bought the invisible skin full body protector (it's my goto scratch protection despite niggles with it) and that will sit beneath any case I buy. May have to take the rear skin off to fit but will cross that bridge...
Fancied a defender but the built in screen protector bothers me as I am worried about it fading and misting over time, where as the commuter does allow for the separate screen skin which then can be removed and replaced independently if required.
Would really like the defender but it is increasingly looking like the commuter will be the best solution :/

I just picked the Aegis off eBay for $26 shipped. Good case so far.

Recommend a case!!

Hello people
Need a case for my shiney new S3!! I did have an S1 up to 2 days ago but it did not survive an encounter with a concrete car park! 2 months from the end of my contract!!! Anyways..
The forum has fried my brain with the number of different cases available / opinions / problems so I decided it might just be easier to ask! Sooooo.. what case do you have and would you recommend it? I want something that going to protect my phone (but not entomb it like an otterbox) and keep the phone looking smart, that means a BIG no no to all those crazy designs out there (Urban armor I'm talking to you). Just to make it a little more difficult I'm in the UK..!
Any help would be much appreciated!

Read all the reviews on Amazon as well. Besides the price, most people have never used or seen the case before so you're not dealing with Fanboys although I've become one since it's still the best all around case over my other 5 or 6 although I have a UAG on the way that may give it a run.....but even buying it used it was twice the price as the Acase when I purchased it.

I also just purchased an Urban Armor Gear (UAG) case for my phone. It looks like it gives good protection with a cool design instead of some of those cases that look like a bloated whale. http://www.urbanarmorgear.com/collections/samsung But I got mine through amazon. I'll post pics when it arrives.

I know it's expensive, but I really like the new Zagg Invisible Shield High Definition screen protector. It just about dissapears on the phone, it's a lot smoother than most of the other non-glass screen protectors and it doesn't have as much orange peel as the others.

I am loving my Otterbox Defender. Beware though: it is very chunky. Mind you I like this - it makes the phone look and feel like a very expensive power tool; something you used on an exploration expedition!

Never had to, usually at&t has plenty. They actually blamed it on Hurricane Sandy, said interrupted deliveries.

I got a cheap one for 7 off ebay & ordered the Samsung White Note 2 case from mobilecityonline.com for $19.99. I'm going to not go case crazy like I did on the SGS3.

i don't normally get a case since i usually hate most that ive had, but i actually love the samsung tpu case. it is super thin, good coverage, rubber sides, plastic back that resembles what the phone looks like underneath, and lip that goes over the screen. you can get it 50% off on samsungs website with the coupon code, so $15. totally worth it.

This is why I always wait a bit to purchase my electronics. It makes everything easier to have a bit of patience.

Why does everyone dislike the flip cover case? It seems like decent protection and not bulky at all?

I can't speak for everyone but I know a disadvantage is that it blocks the notification light, making it useless to have.

Seriously, I might give it a go. As long as you can leave the flip cover folded over the back of the device for the times you want to be able to see the led notification then I should be fine. But I dont plan on getting a screen protector and for throwing it in my pockets or laptop bag the flip cover might do its job in protecting the big screen.
