Hi,
I just got my SGS2 and wanted to order a case for its protection so I took a look around and found this from Astrobile. ( Google it, forum doesn't let me to post url ) It's pretty awesome on paper, cause i didn't get it yet, but I looking forward it is indeed cool.
They have a 1 plus 1 event now, so you can get 2 for a price of one. They also include 2 screen protector with it. It's Made in Korea.
Why is it Hybrid? Its made of plastic, but at the back of it there is a metal plate which "make your device looks slimmer". Imo it could also helps keep your device cooler. My SGS2 is getting real hot when playing constantly for an hour or more.
Im already excited about it, can't wait to get it! I will update when i get them, they said it will take about 10 days.
And the best of all, there is free shipping to worldwide. Of course you can take a Express Shipping, but that's not for free...
Arrived!
Hello!
As i promised, i will write a mini-review according to my first few impressions about the case when i get it, so here you are!
First things first, it has arrived fairly quick according to it was a free shipping. +1!
It has came in a pink plastic bag, nothing special. The package of the case itself is nice, suggests quality, +0.5!
The first problem face me when i actually opened the box and got the black case in my hands. I noticed it is kinda thick,-0.5, and has some shimmering material mixed in the black TPU, -1!!!. This is weird, but must be the Korean taste for beauty...OK.
The next thing I didn't like about thie case was it thickness, ok I already mentioned it, BUT the holes for the buttons are also that deep that they're hardly accessible. They could have made some "case-buttons" or I don't know the expression for that. -1!!! Maybe something like on this one.
The metal backplate also has some color transition from black to silver (mostly silver for a "black" backplate), and I don't like it. I have to give a -0.5.
Alright, enough of the CONs, let's see some more PROs. This case is not that bad at all. Its Sturdy enough, but still flexible so I can believe my phone is protected from small height drops (if not landed on the screen - tho the case has some edge which laps over the phone, so if you turn it face down, your screen won't be scratched, also the screen protector is there.) So this worth a +1! The touch of the material is good, less slippy then the phone naked, but still not as good as it could be. (Maybe my hands are just to small for such a huge screen and while im tryin to reach the other end of the screen with my goofy fingers it just wants to slip off of my hand. - So I won't give penalty on this.
The matte screen protector included is absolutely superb quality! It has a really nice touch, a colors doesn't distorted and it's free of any oil, fingerprints, +1. Tho I have to mention that on the website they were talking about 2 screen protectors will be included, this is a -0.5...
And of course don't forget about the extra case included with every purchase of this model from the color of your choice (even the same your ordered originally). They have black and white with various backplates.
I won't give penalty points on this, cause this was a gift
So, the thing is it is kinda the same as the black, since it also has that crappy shimmering thing mixed into the material, but it is less visible than on the black one. Backplate is the same aswell, weird color transition...But again, it was gift. So it is OK
The Verdict:
Summa Summarum, the case has finished with a +1 in its stash. My impressions is just confused as this rating.
I like it a bit, but I don't think I will stick with it too long. For a first case it's just perfect, since my main goal is just to protect the phone, and it does the job well. Tiny imperfections like the deep button hole is a thing i could get used to by time, not really a big issue.
Next time I will definitely go for a bumper-style case which preserves my phone's slick for factor, which I love.
Here you can see some high-res pics of the cases.
Hope you found my very first review helpful! Please press the "Thanks" button! Cheers I'm off...
P.S: This is my 10th post, let's celebrate :lol:
The phone + case look rather thick on the photo's. Is the mic on the upper side not covered? There is no picture of that.

Hey!
Thanks for the input! Yeah, sorry I forgot to mention that, actually I didn't even knew that is a mic also!
Returning to the topic, yeah the case also has a cut for the second mic too!
Can you please tell me what is it for?
the second mic
the second mic is use for the noise cancellation feature.
if you want a cheap and cheerfull hybrid case then look for a fake sgp neo hybrid case
if you want a more exspensive hybrid case look for genuine neo hybrid sgp cases
a fake one will cost up to £12 and usually start at about £6
real sgp cases will cost you £18-£22 and no less
iam using a fake neo hybrid at the minute as i broke my genuine one and its a pretty good case for the money , it fits standard battery and 2000mah battery , its lasted a good few months and has kept the phone pristine , it covers the phone well even with the 2000mah battery
they are the best hybrid case ive found and add minimal bulk to the phone , look good , fit nice , protects the phone from drops and if you buy a fake one you can get them for pretty good prices
That 'shimmering' effect looks nasty. It's good that you get a second case though.
i think there are better cases out there and at cheap prices, but in the bright side it does look nice.

I just reviewed Droid 2 cases here:
Droid 2 Hard Case:
http://droid2accessories.com/droid-2-accessories/droid-2-hard-case/
Body Glove Droid 2:
http://droid2accessories.com/droid-2-accessories/droid-2-case-review/
Both you can get at Verizon store but Amazon is like 30% cheaper.
Also, I like the hard case better, the Body Glove is waaay too bulky, they added waaaay too much padding, your Droid 2 becomes like a big brick afterwards. But might work for those of you who want a sturdier Droid 2.
Hey thanks for pointing out these rad cases. In the Amazon page it claims to come with a micro fiber cloth and a "screen protector". Did the kit you reviewed come with some sort of clear plastic stick on deal? I hope so, I'm itching to by the white one and storm trooper this beast.
Thanks dude.
The one I bought
The one I bought is the same but I bought it at my local Verizon store for $24.99 doesn't come with a screen protector. darn it. But yeah, that link is the best deal I found and is the exact same case, yey.
Thank you sir I'll post back with the quality of the screen protector, ordering NAOWWW!
Hey thought I'd let you know this case is fantastic! Fits much better than I expected and the white case got me the storm trooper look I was goin for.
I also ordered the OEM extended battery from Verizon (BP7X) and am happy to report that despite its larger size, the case still fits perfect! In fact, I think these were designed for BP7X.
If you look at Zeedomax's pictures, the case has a swell over the battery compartment... with the stock battery installed, there is space between phone and case. With BP7X, like a glove.
I'd also like to say the free screen protector isn't half bad. No glare, no rainbow effect, and doesn't inhibit touch screen usage. The bad: it doesn't take much to scratch. I scuffed it up installing with a credit card and my keys have already done a number on it.
Definitely get this case and the battery!
Use promo code "BAT30" for 30% off and free overnight shipping. (Mine was $37 or so.)
I got the 'carbine' case when I bought mine. It was $25 instore. Also Good luck finding matte screen protectors anywhere. I have somewhat tacky fingers and find that glossy protectors make my fingers catch. I ended up buying a iphone matte protector from best buy and trimming it down to fit (bit of irony no? haha!) stupid things where $18 to boot...

Thanks for the info guys. I'm curious if the keyboard opens and closes as smoothly as without case. I briefly tried one on my phone and it was noticeably different as if the phone was rubbing against the case while opening and closing.
Yes, there are two clips on the top half of the bottom cover (confusing I know) that rub against the back of the screen when sliding open. Now even though
I noticed a difference immediately, I was not turned off by this at all. It has warn the clips a bit since then and seems to slide a little more effortlessly now...
But to answer your question, NO the case does not hinder the phone in any SERIOUS way. I'd also like to note that this case will drive you crazy on the top row of your keyboard for the first day or two, but now I've already forgotten what it felt like with the case off. Basically, you had about 1-2mm's of space between the top row and the screen. Now that space is non existent. You'll get used to it!
The only thing that seriously erks me, is all the crap that's getting stuck between the case and the phone from extended miles in my pocket. I've already scuffed up the shiny metallic front face pretty bad.
I thought since we are discussing cases, I'd share the slip case I got for my D2:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170524799245
It wasn't made for the D2, but it fits perfectly and it was cheap. Its already protected my phone from a drop of a few feet to a concrete floor. Most of all, I love the Android at the bottom of it, I thought it was perfect, especially for the price!
Do these cases have a hole for the noise cancelling mic?

Not a case, but I just got this piece of awesomeness. Love it. Makes the phone look 10,000 times sexier.

Hey guys since nobody has posted a true review of the new Trident Cyclops case for the vibrant yet, I thought I'd take the liberty of making one myself. I hope you enjoy it. Feel free to leave any comments or opinions on the case you have below.
-bobofosho123
I have one of these sitting in the box that I ordered and recently received. I was planning on using it, but then it arrived and I saw how much thicker and wider it made the phone and it's kinda turned me off. I am probably going to return it. I also ordered the recently released Seidio Innocase for the Vibrant though and it should be here tomorrow. It looks to be a bit closer to what I want out of a case (minimal bulk added), though at the cost of less protection like the Cyclops provides.
I don't know. I might consider keeping it and switching to it for times when I may want the extra protection, and use the Seidio for a majority of the time.
Oh man nice review. I just can't hide the beauty of my Vibrant
The built-in screen protector I don't like but it's a ncie feature.
And that's not red, bobo, that's pink.
You forgot to show us how to screen responds with the screen protector that comes wit the phone.
Very helpful review. It's hard to imagine damaging the phone with that level of "rugged-ization." However, I'm not sure that I would want to have that amount of additional bulk for everyday use.

It's pretty responsive in terms of using it. But the only issue that I have with the case is that it can be a pain at time to bring down the notification from the top of the screen. At the end of the day it's really not too big of a deal and I don't mind the extra bulk if my phone is safe.
I love the vid cuz he was honest. But i cant deal with the bulk and the rugged look. That's why i went with the Aegis. It's a lot more sleeker and actually looks good. Also my density is set pretty low and i need easy access to my notification bar. Thanks for the video.
I really love this case i got mine in blue and i made some modifications to the case it took out the screen protector so i could actually use it and removed the cam cover cuz it messed with quality, all in all it's amazing i can actually throw it at the ground repeatably and it wont die
I also had to make some modifications to my Cyclops case. I sanded down near the ports a little bit so I can get my nails in deeper to open up the usb and headset tabs. I removed the main screen protector and may also have to remove the camera screen protector because it causes glare in video recordings. But with my luck soon after I remove it, something is going to scratch my camera lens. What I really like about this case is that it makes the phone completely level. They added another hump near the top to even out the bottom hump. I don't think I've seen another case do that yet. It adds a good amount of bulk/grip to the phone. When the phone is naked, it feels like I'm talking on a playing card. Only thing I really don't like about it is that the silicone outer part comes off too easily at times. I wish they made the grooves deeper or something so it locks into place better. Overall, I'm pretty pleased with my Trident Cyclops case.
My girlfriend and I have had this case on our vibrants since a week after we bought them. We love them, the only complaint we have ever had was that sometimes it can be difficult to get the rubber piece out of the charger port and headphone jack. The company now makes a 2800mah battery and slightly bigger case for the vibrant. I am debating on ordering 2 of those. Hope this helps
So the first thing I noticed was that this is not a slider, but a front-and-back snap case. The product description says "Unique snap together design and opening slot makes putting on and removing your case easy" but for some reason thought it was a slider like the Surface II for the Captivate. So, it's not their fault I misunderstood.
Since the front bezel cover is so thin, my initial impression is that it seems a little flimsy. The back cover is also quite thin and has no lining like other Seidio cases. I think this was a conscious decision in order to keep the case as slim as possible. The fit is quite precise, so I don't think the lining would really make much difference as there is no movement within the case.
Although the front bezel piece seems flimsy at first, it feels quite sturdy once you snap it to the back cover. I do have some concerns the clips that snap together will wear down over time if you remove the cover frequently. Only time will tell on that point.
It has Seidio's "signature soft touch finish" which is like a somewhat rubberized matte texture. It's quite nice, but attracts prints if you have oily fingers.
Overall, the fit is pretty much perfect and the cutouts are precise. It's very thin and has a nice texture. Of the six cases I have, it's certainly the nicest. It does, however, cost about as much as the other five cases combined - $29.95.
At $19.95, I'd probably recommend it in a second. At $30 I have some reservations, namely the long term durability of the clasps that keep the two pieces together.
Vibrant case wont work
should be gettin mine tomorrow....
i think they have 6 month warranty which actually does work. thats another big plus with this company.

Good to know. Hopefully won't have to use it.
Thanks for the review.
I'm still sticking to my white mesh case. I like really light and almost-not-there type of cases.
Thanks for the review, mine should be here within a day or so.
I ordered using the coupon code XMAS15 that was posted here. Not certain it's still valid though as the poster said it may expire on the 19th.
To the OP, how does the phone feel in your hands compared to what you had previously?
Also, did your volume buttons ever rattle? This is my only hesitation as the silicone case from t-mobile prevents the rattles I have from the volume rocker (which is loose).

For reference, I've had TPU's, hybrid TPU/Plastic (the one with hard clear back), a generic version of the Barely-There, and a flexible plastic perforated case (XMatrix Cover from DayDeal).
The added size and weight is similar to the XMatrix perforated case. It's not as slim as the Barely-There style cases, but I think it's definitely lower profile than TPU or silicone.
The finish is nearly the same as the Barely-There knock off I have, but seems a little more durable (the coating on the old case started to come off within days). It's smooth, almost suede-like, but has a bit of tack when held in the hand. When put on a smooth surface, like a desk or on wood trim in a car, it does not stick at all. This is a bit of a negative for me. One thing I like about TPU cases is that they kind of stick when you lay them on a smoother surface (I usually put my phone on the wood trim next to the gear shift in my car) but are not tacky otherwise.
As for the volume buttons, mine are not loose so I can't really comment on that issue.
One other thing I've noticed in the last few days of using the case, is that bezel cover is attached to the bottom part in only a few spots so there is some give in the areas that aren't clipped together. I think they should have added a couple more contact points on each side. It's not terrible, but I'm a bit OCD so it probably bothers me more than it would most other people.
I'll report back, should be here anytime now.. thanks man.
Case is good, very slim and feels good in hand, not perfect like other Seidio products. Like the review states, the case is NOT slide-on which sucks. I dont know why they used clip-on design, with slide-on case could have been even slimmer and more durable. Fit is also nice, but also not perfect, phone is just a little loose in case, not noticeable right away until you play with it.

After waiting around for the SGP Slider, I was also hoping this would be a sliding case.
I did get to hold a Captivate with the Innocase II, which is a slider, and the fit was pretty awful. It moves around a ton compared to this front-back type. I guess I'll take this style and more precise fit over slider with a bad fit.
Is it the bump on the Vibrant that is the main issue with a slider?
I was a bit let down to find this was a snap on the front/back design.

Nice review! I can't help but feel like Seidio threw this product together in a hurry, after they realized there are people with Vibrants. It just looks cheap compare to their other offerings.
Just got it. initial impressions:
1 feels great in the hand. Looks good too.
2 I absolutely hate how easy it un-snaps.
3 I want to know their return policy till they have a legit case like the ones I am accustomed too from seidio.
4 it's much more difficult to press power now.
EDIT: okay, found out how to do the return, just waiting to hear back from them.

Good cases all around, but how mch bulk these add ? and how is the overall girth affected ? Anybody can clarify that?
I already think that present atrix is just right with its weight and girth so cases might just disturb that.

I just now dropped my phone on the concrete driveway on my way into the house. Luckily, I have the first case/sleeve adorning my Atrix - actually a very close variant without that slick translucent back. Mine is just "all black everything". I smiled as I picked it up off the ground. You know that cracking, smacking sound that your brand new cool-ass super phone makes when it hits the ground? Well mine did not make a sound. The only reason I knew I dropped it is because I felt something missing from my hand. If the first case is anything like the one wrapped around my Atrix - get it. I smiled as I picked it up, just thumbed the dust off the impact corner....
Solid a phone as the Atrix is, that was a guaranteed scratch/dent or what have you without that case.
http://www.bestbuy.ca/en-CA/product/g-zed-g-zed-mobile-motorola-atrix-case-black-gzmoatrskin1/10167359.aspx?path=6447e55fb4e9d37985389c4f76d43d4aen02
I also have the second one - "ROCK". I had high hopes for it with it's low profile and all, but it's in my stuff drawer now. It's a loose fit on the Atrix, and does not offer full impact protection. Your Atrix extends past the protective limits of the case's cut-outs at key spots. An unfortunate drawback to the case's uber thin profile. A well placed fall will more than likely result in scarring. Moreover, the finish on the Rock case, while pretty and matte, is just as slippery, if not more so than the Atrix itself. It feels too insecure in my hands. The first TPU case (or at least the one I have from Best Buy there) is like glue and then slippy when it counts. For example, I can "stick" my phone on my laptop screen and hang it there as I'm dev'ing or flashing, or on a support call for work or what have you and it stays quite put until I remove it. I can also stick it on 90 degree vertical glass surfaces, almost vertical on my ultra suede couch, and other felt type surfaces. At the same time it slips unencumberd into my tight denim jeans pocket without fuss. Well I guess it's just the nature of TPU, so if you've had TPU cases before you might already know this.
Having both myself, I'd highly recommend the first one (as long as it's like the one in the Best Buy link which I believe it is) It's thicker, but it's so bearable it's like the Atrix should have come with it from the factory. It MIGHT add a millimeter to the entire depth of the phone. It's also a sure grip on your Atrix - I know you've wished your Atrix was not as slippy as it is.
I might post some pictures of my Atrix spider-manning all over the place later in its TPU case.
Momax all the way.
i just updated all the links ! sorry for the bad links !
the rock ultra thin case is really thin and doesnt add alot of bulk to it . really living to its name of naked shell . haha

Has anyone bought or tried this case? in looks very interesting as its so thin it may be comparable to buying something like the Bodyguardz skins without the hassle of sticking that stuff on.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1mm-Ultra...sesPouches&hash=item4165054cf6#ht_2462wt_1168
Got a few days ago, pretty good, very very thin but slippery. Did a quick video to show it in action.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KG2HBa-62Rc
i've got one. its about 0.5mm thick in some parts, so the only thing its good for is protecting the phone's body from scratches. it offers no drop protection, and no camera protection, and its not grippy either.
i prefer my ringke slim case and my anymode pebble jelly case, theyre grippy and dont add much bulk, and offer decent protection for the corners of the phone (if you drop your phone, its more likely to land on a corner) and it goes slightly over the edges of the screen, so if your phone does land face first, the glass is less likely to touch the ground, making it less likely to shatter.
Thanks Souai, I had the ringke for my galaxy s2 and i found that after a while it started stretching out and not fit the phone properly. The reason why im so keen on these ultra thin ones is more as an alternative is the skin shields. ill check out the pebble case though.
looks similar to the Case Mate Barely There.

$54 seems a a lot for a case, the 1mm is just $4 including delivery.
lol 5000 INR is not 54$ its more than 100$ to my knowledge and also that for a case is too much IMHO...
Anyway I would have bought one if it was sold from Amazon . Looks nice
Yeah, I hate ebay and their bloody fees, Ive ordered one though , it'll take a few weeks for it to arrive, ill report back then.

I ordered some from ebay (the seller sold them in pairs) - one was cracked from the start and unusable, and the other was slightly warped from being stuffed in the padded envelope. I found them to be not very grippy, and the cut-out for the m/usb was quite sharp, and being as I rest the Note on my little finger when I hold it one-handed, painful!
Hope you have better luck than I did - I just use the Note bare-back now!

Every time i buy a new phone get into a mad rush to buy cases for it, i use them for a week or two then ditch them because I prefer to use the phone bare, i'll probably do the same as you Towserspvm2000, but at below 3 quid a pop im not going to be losing out on much if it is crappy.
Just got this case from China. I like it. Simple and almost like it is bare. Only issue is the buttons are a little harder to push. But not a deal breaker. This is my third case. thinnest and the lightest. Not bad for $4US. Just got to make sure I don't drop it. More for scratch protection than anything.
hey guys, got the case and its pretty good but bloody slippery. Put up a youtube video to show it in action.
