Are there any cases WITHOUT the opening for the DMB antenna that are as good looking as the SGP cases? I am liking most of the cases from SGP except they all have seem to have that opening.
This is no good because I've dropped my phone yesterday and it just happened to land on that particular corner (ie. with the opening). Now my phone is dented and I need a case to cover it for now.
Thanks for your suggestions
Try to use SGP Neo Hybird

Nope I find them a little too chunky for my liking. I'll take aesthetics My brother is using a Casemate Tough on his HTC Sensation though, on my recommendation, & it has survived many falls & being outdoors with him. There are many reviews on YouTube about the various Casemate cases for the SGSII so take a look before you decide which one it is that'll best fit your needs.

A Bumper (without back protection) without that cutout would be what I'm searching for... Preferably made of hybrid materials, e.g. like the Neo Hybrid EX, with Silicone and PC. Unfortunately I didn't find any. Maybe someone else who saw something like that?

I generally like to have multiple cases for my phones. I have bought a couple of cases already without having the phone and would like to know which one you guys think is the best. These are the cases I have bought:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/37056726677...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649#ht_4251wt_1219

I havent heard many good things about the popcase that it may not provide enough protection. It looks cool though. I have the toughcase but its a dust magnet for starters and the silicone also gets in the way of my screen protector (zagg) at the corners. I have a diztronic tpu case and i like the fit of it better and its thin enough to not be too noticeable. So far i like it best but im still waiting for something better....like otterbox?
Yes, I can not wait for the otterbox. I also found a case for other phones called Sillicrylic (I think thats how you spell it) and that looks like an awesome case!
i think nude is better!
Hi, before I get my SGN i had a Desire HD with PoP case !
And I was very satisfied with it
Thank you, I just noticed that one of the ebay links is actually 7 cases, which is awesome so I can switch it out. I will let you guys know which one is best when I get them.

I have this one, and for £1.89 I think it is pretty fantastic. Looks and feels great!
Nay to all of the above
Why hide the Google design. If you look at the use of the phone, the corners are the most hit, so a bumper design is the best. the cases in this post like others I've found are thick and bulky for no real benefit.
iPhone is the best example of what we need.
"Can't paste the link as I'm too new but refer to Ebay "iPhone 4S bumper"
We need to push this design before making out pockets bulk up...

I have a case obsession as well and have many for the Gnex. My latest is the otterbox commuter, which I really love - though its noteworthy that many people do not like this case. A good one as well is the Trident Agesis - I am waiting for this one to be release at the end of Feb.

I already had a comparison poll about cases for galaxy s3. Otterbox defender, Casemate glam and SGP Folio, and i've decided to get SGP folio and try to place an order now. But, I just found another case from sgp website. I bet this case was released for other devices. Has anyone tried this case for your old device? If it's better than folio (http://www.spigen.com/samsung-galaxy-s3-leather-case-folio-series.html), I would get this one because it's made of suede material.

I had Argos for my iPhone 4 and SGS2, I generally liked them quite a bit, but at times, the flap clamp tend to get a little loose, so you have to sort of bend it down a little to get more friction between it and the phone.
does anyone have more pictures of the SGP Argos?
I really like the looks of it in the official picture, but i found this review for the galaxy s2 version where you can see a massive bulk at the bottom. does the s3 version have this too?
(damn, why is it so hard to find a really good looking protection for my new baby )

I was watching this earlier when I did a YouTube search. When I saw the design for the Fusion and Ultra Hybrid, I was immediately attracted to the Ultra Hybrid. The Fusion looks a bit too round for me, which is a shame since I loved the Fusion case for the Nexus 4.
great review, thanks
edit: i think your spigen case might be ok, you might just have to peel off the plastic in the front and back just like the ringke.

I was also going to ask this, did you actually remove the plastic films on the Spigen one? because it doesn't have a message like the Ringke to remove it but they're there and I'm almost certain you didn't remove them because when you were comparing them it looked hazy.
Does the Ringke come with an option for a solid black back instead of clear?

Nope. That would be the Slim series but thats another case.
Damn I thought the Ultra hybrid would be about the same size as the Fusion... I like smaller cause my hands are not large. Unfortunately I order an ultra hybrid if I would have seen this before that I would have bought the Fusion! Anyone want to buy my Ultra hybrid?? lol it hasnt come in yet but idk I may need to sell it and buy the fusion instead..lol

He posted on the Reddit thread that he did in fact forget to peel off the front screen protector on the case. Afterwards, the scratches were gone.

I thought mine was scratched too, but you need to peal both the front and back protectors off.
I have both as well. The Spigen is higher quality, but the Rearth is slightly smaller and much more comfortable to hold due to the rounded edges. Also the buttons are easier to press on the Rearth.
So far I have all the Spigen cases and the Rearth and I really don't like any of them. I have a Supcase and a Diztronic on their way. Having a PITA time finding a decent case for this thing. I know I'll like the Diztronic, but I am really, really hoping UAG comes out with a case for us (they likely won't).

Yeah my Diztronic is being delivered today too. The Diztronic is pretty much a sure bet but it's TPU, so it is what it is. It'll do until I find a better case.

just got my diztronic. give me a few minutes to gather some thoughts about it.
Edit: Alright. First off, it looks very nice and sleek, and it definitely does not add as much size as the neo hybrid did (that thing literally gave the N5 the height and width of a Note 3). Fit and finish is OK, not quite as good as sgp or even the older Diztronic cases I remember having on my ATT One X. There is a little bit of flash at the bottom edge under the charging port, so if you usually rest your pinky near the charging port, you will feel a little bit of sharpness. Other than that, the case is pretty formfitting. The buttons actually have a nice click feedback, and it doesn't feel like the case is constantly putting pressure on the buttons when they are not pressed, which is VERY good thing and something I cannot say for most cases. Overall, a solid case, and definitely knocked the neo hybrid away. Waiting for the Supcase for further comparison and judgement.
so it seems that the diztronic wins over spigen and spigen wins over ringke fusion....hmm..
i wonder why no one here mentioned the slim armor from spigen...with all the differences of opinion and no seemingly "excellent" case out there (and with slim armor my preferred one ahving button problems) i dont know what to do ! please do post your reviews people specially if you have multiple cases and which one you like best

i totally agree with you! The neo hybrid was one of my original choices as my daily case but the mid frame plastic seems too flimsy to me. How do the buttons feel on your slim armor, click-y, or flat like some TPU cases?

When I'm at home I use my spigen slim armor.
Both are great. The ultra hybrid isn't very good due to dust getting in the case
I like the fact that the spigen slim armor has the tow parts that you can change, its pretty cool!!
