So I saw a lot of requests for a video of the Sweet Armor metal bumper for the Galaxy S2 so I decided to upload a review of it. I received it in the mail today and so far it has been pretty good. I probably won't be using it though since need to use the Case-Mate Pop's kickstand very often. I highly recommend the bumper though. It is a much better option than the Taurus bumper and the other available bumpers.
The best part is that it will fit the 2000mAh battery with the backdoor!
Also, I will be receiving my black brushed aluminum back cover for the phone on Saturday. If you want any pictures of that or pictures of it paired with the Sweet Armor case let me know.

Just keep browsing and make sure to look at the pictures!

You mean this one? http://www.ebay.com/itm/1X-Metal-Bu...ain_0&var=&hash=item84ba44149b#ht_5301wt_1139
This one seems very interesting. Doesn't seem to have the Sweet Armor logo though, but it is available in a variety of colors. If you order it let me know how it is .
By the way I should be receiving my aluminum back cover early next week so I will be taking pictures then.
I finally ordered the ikuba : http://cgi.ebay.fr/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...7&ssPageName=ADME:L:OC:FR:1123#ht_5176wt_1157

Regarding the Aluminium Back-Cover
Hey there matey,
First of all, thank you for the detailed report, both the text and video iterations.
I just wanted to ask (I just ordered the Sweet-Armor bumper in black), where did you order the back-cover from?
I ask this as the seller from whom I purchased the bumper from, did not include the back-cover. (Not sure if it's meant to be part of the package)
Cheers.

Like most stores, my at&t store was sold out of the body glove case people have been raving about lately, so i ended up having to go with a $40 nasty leather belt clip (though that was so they'd agree to give me the phone for $90...)
Anyway, while searching around online I finally found one at daydeal . com (search for 'body glove captivate', can't post links yet sorry). Just ordered it today (8/21), so I'll post an update when it gets here confirming it's the same case as the one sold at the store. $6 cheaper too for the moment.
EDIT: just arrived. It's the exact same case, even to the point of coming in the same box.
It's actually cheaper too!!
Here's the link since the OP can't post one yet:

there wouldn't happen to be any promo codes running around for this site is there?
They gave me that case with my phone. I like it alot.
These are also in stock at my local best buy store. It was 24.99. They only had 1 in stock and i bought it
I manage a retailer store and i have 5 of the cases at one time. I could sell the case for 12 all day long. Nice thing about not being corporate. Let me know if anybody wants to buy from me shipping would prob be around 5?

I installed the one from repairuniverse and it seems to be OEM in all ways but one. The kickstand does not seem to have the transparent coating that the original did. This is a good thing in my opinion since I spent a lot of time pealing mine off after it started to chip a month after I got the phone. Fitment was great and the rest of the look is OEM as I said before

Nah, that's just the crappy coat on the kickstand coming off. tape off around the kickstand, and take a green scrubby pad to it. a bit of metal polish, and it'll look way better than before.
Not necessarily as cheap, but a bit more established and reputable (ordered quite a few things from them for fixing BBs etc.)

I think that's just a blue protective sticker on the kickstand. Not an actual blue kickstand.
Well, I just got this case today. It comes in black or white. I got the black one. I'd post pictures but my grandkids are here and I won't be able to do it until tomorrow.
My mini-review:
Pros:
Fit and Finish is beautiful.
Very light. Case and Tablet weighs 1lb 12.6ozs
Very thin.
(Added) The edges of the screen are not covered. Like the Samsung case there are 3 clips to hold the TAB. I don't like the way most ofthe other cases cover the border of the screen with "PU" or leather.
Cons:
TOO EXPENSIVE. It may be "worth" $85 + shipping for it's quality but for what it is it's just too much money
TOO EXPENSIVE
"Stand" is only a single position and the way it works is you have to unsnap the bottom half of the tablet from it's perfectly fitting snap on cover and rest it on the "latch" that holds locks the case closed. I have to believe that eventually the snaps will lose their tension and not tightly hold the Tablet. May be wrong there but it seems to be.
Must be opened to access USB connection.
TOO EXPENSIVE
I have six months to return it so I'm not worried.

I looked at that case but since it was seemingly 2x as thick and made from "synthetic leather" (either plastic or "PU" not sure which) I chose the other. I probably would prefer the Samsung over that one since the Samsung is very thin and lite. Also don't like the "hand strap" since it reminds me of a ping-pong paddle.
However if the quality is just as good it would be a good alternate choice for those who don't mind the thicker vinyl case.
Cut the price in half and I'll buy.

I sent it back for a refund. Too expensive and required "unsnapping" the bottom 2 clips holding the TAB to "stand" it.

Aw, that's kinda upsetting. It sure looked like a nice case, and for some reason I'm a sucker for carbon fiber styling, but it's sad to hear about those downsides.
If nothing else, thanks for being a guinea pig on that! It was hard enough to justify that kind of money on a simple case even if it was perfect. The USB slot issue is the killer, really.

How did you go about sending it back for a refund. I'm about to do the same with mine. My initial impressions were that it was a good case but after having it a couple days I'm ready to return it and get something cheaper that is probably a better quality.

Same here, I have not found any cases I would think are worth buying compared to the official one.
I am still awaiting my phone but now have all my accessories. My iLuv layover "white" case came in today. I was really interested in it when I first saw it, but there were very little pictures to go by so I thought I would take some pictures that gave a better idea. Until I get a phone to put in it, I figured this was all I could really do. I will update once I get my phone (waiting for it from Best buy/verizon) and can take more detailed pictures.
I wasn't sure how they could get away with charging $12 for shipping. After seeing the box it came, which could have also fit a pair of nike running shoes, I now understand why! This could have easily been shipped in a padded envelope and would have cut down on the cost!

FIFY...
I was sitting around and thinking to myself...."I paid a lot for this case. it is pretty slick and want to keep it looking nice."
I got the xtremeguard full skins on the 75% off deal. (I got 4 actually). at the price I got them for, I figured it wouldn't matter if I wasted one. So, I installed a back protector on the iluv case for a little extra grip and in hopes to keep it looking good. so far it is sticking pretty good. if it sticks, I may keep it on, if not...ehh oh well. I'll take some more picts of that tomorrow if it stays looking good.
that looks like a cover that goes a bit further on the top and bottom, perhaps allowing for a bit more protection. seems nice
is this case available in Europe?

Yeah, saw that before i ordered. Good info but it seems to be the only info available.

Wrong IMO. I stayed away from totally clear for one reason. Clear cases look nice at first. Then after months of sliding around on the contact points, those points become scratched. Now you have part of the case that looks nice and the rest which is all scratched and appears dirty.

Mine just arrived. Here it is on a Pebble Blue S III. I will be exchanging the phone for a white one, but I wanted to post pics for anyone interested in this case with a blue phone.
The case feel very nice and is nice and slim. It also wraps around the corners just enough to provide decent protection. There's no lip to really speak of on the front so the case won't protect your phone if you leave it faced down. That's either a positive or a negative depending on how you like your cases.
Anyhow, here are the pics. Enjoy.

Just got this from china for USD 1.55, this case is very similar to the popular rock quicksand, whiles many members are searching for genuine rock case, many people don't realize that the rock quicksand did not design this case and that there are almost 20 version of this case available in china from branded to non branded and there are no differences at all apart from the inprint name, logo and packaging.
Photo below is the SGP, but I'm sure it's a fake, the shop say's it's a sample.
I have 3 of the same exact case. Black, gray, and purple. Its pretty much like the rock cases with no logo

I just ordered one of these too from amazon, the blue one without any logo.
i cant post link yet, you just need to search for "quicksand S3", $6.99+$2.99 shipping, it is not the best deal compare to $10 for 5pc.
but giving that i dont like to buy from china or hk, it takes me forever to receive the product and sometimes i didnt receive it at all, i would prefer to buy from domestic.
It's where they're made and come from anyways, never not recived a item!
PS. Still waiting on a link?

I think from the photos the case is poor fitment and quality. I would not want to try it even with that small price.

True, i dont mind where the product was made, i have issue with where I buy from, if i can get it from domestic sellers, i will not look elsewhere.
I have had bad experiences of not getting my product or wait forever to get it, and once the product has issue, it is a hassle to return it and wait for replacement and etc. I know a lot of people doesnt have issue with not receiving product but I am the unlucky one, it happens to me many times as I shop online a lot for almost everything besides groceries and clothing, haha.
My official Rock case has a much less depth of cut around the headphone jack, no visible mold seams, and it appears to be a thinner case based on the angles and look compared to your pictures. But hey, for $2 what can you expect...not a bad deal. I do like my Rock though...after hearing enough good things about them from past buyers of their cases I was work the plunge for me.

I love my rock case . But for 10.99 for five that's a pretty tempting deal... I dig the white and red colors. Might have to snag a pack and do a comparison!
