Anyone know if any leather belt clip holsters will fit with this bumper?
I've had my SPIGEN tempered glass on for a few weeks now and I must say its pretty irritating because of all the dust on the sides of the glass protector itself.

nice review. this is only my personal opinion, but i feel like this expensive bumper doesnt provide much protection other than making the s3 look a lil different.
anyways.
LMAO @ your nail comment. literally, laughed out loud.

Nice review! Looks pretty solid, but I'm wondering if you have dropped it yet. If you have, has there been any noticeable damage on the bumper?

Hi guys,
Just wanted to share a quick review of the SGP Ultra Capsule I was sent for review, it is a great TPU style case that fits snug onto your device and will offer pretty decent protection.
Watch the full review for more info:
Nice video, the case looks really good but that glitter is pretty much a deal-breaker for me.
Have it in white also
and i can say this is the best SGP case
unless you want the black color, dont worry about these glitter ! they are almost invisible unless you stare at the case right under your nose

Yeah, trust Jeandujardin's word and mine, you won't see it unless you look at it closely under light. I do have some more cases coming in so perhaps we'll find one you like.
Thanks for your comment and support
thanks for another great video, please review the ultra silke if you can

I wouldn't buy it if I were you. I made the mistake and I'm paying for it till my neo hybrid arrives. It's not too tight when you get it, but after a month the device freely moved in it, and there's a lot of space between the battery cover and the case. The matte finish which I liked so much about it is wearing off at the corners too. Holes are well aligned though, but it's lifespan is 2 months tops.
I have this case too and I have to say I really like it. Unlike other people, I actually like the minimalistic glitter. It makes the material feel more premium than generic rubber plastic.

Hey guys,
Super excited to bring you the full review of the Otterbox Commuter series case for the Galaxy S 2. This case met and exceeded my expectations, definitely recommended. It is super protective, clean and feels great in the hand. You can watch the full review below:
nice review mate (yet again) you are a good talker on camera do you do them off the cuff 1st time or is there much editing
about the case , i think i prefer the casemate tough . same sort of style case yet doesnt seem to have as much silicone exspsosed to attract dust and also seems to fit a bit tighter to the handset then the otterbox .
The top bit that wont lay flat would annoy me like it did you so thanks for pointing that out .
nice review mate keep them coming

Many thanks for the compliments. I usually make a mistake here and there but nothing major, if you look at some of my older videos you will see it's just a matter of keeping at it and practicing haha.
I've got a Tough for the HTC Sensation and I can relate to what you mean, the Tough seems to cover up more of the Silicone, however the only thing I'm not a big fan of is that the Tough leaves the bottom portion very flimsy.
Thanks again, more videos to come!
wow mate keep up the videos, love the content, thanks
I actually don't have the raised silicone at the top that you complained about. It may be because your phone is White and modded that its dimensions differ from the original galaxy s2

Someone commented stating that as well, it may be because I have an SGP Glas screen protector which adds some thickness.
I have the same issue, and it doesn't have a screen protector.
This case is perfect without the front silicon.

Thanks for letting me know that. I was starting to think it was my SGP Glas but now that you're experiencing it, perhaps some cases have their silicone a little more stretched than others.
FYI, some people were wondering if/when Otterbox would release their Defender series case; my contact said this:
Also, to the best of my knowledge, we will only be making a Commuter Series for the Galaxy S II, not a Defender Series as well. Sorry to disappoint. If that changes I will let you know.

Hi Ploone,
Awesome reviews you do here! Glad to see you like your Otterbox case as much as I do. One thing your review doesn't cover (it didn't really need to) is the included screen protector. Here is my short review of that:
The included protector appears to be there for the sake of being there. It isn't sticky, which is about the only pro I can think of. It is a fingerprint magnet. It's finish is one that not only do fingerprints look awful when the screen is off, but actually interfere with the colours of the screen when it is on, mostly when viewing lots of white. It is hard to tell if it is interfering with my touchscreen, I really do think that it has affected sensitivity just a bit, but that could be a placebo.
All in all, if you are cheap and anal (like me), you will find yourself using it because it was "free" with the case. I do want to look into getting an SGB Glas protector, but don't want to spend another $35 on that, and then get a 32gb class 10 microsd at another $70+ lol this phone is costing me too much money!!!
Or maybe I'll live with it as is

Thanks very much for sharing that! I've been curious to try out the included screen protectors in the cases I receive but I just can't risk removing the SGP Glas haha

So much for visiting their page everyday to see if was on the cards.
Pretty disappointed now =/
I hope someone makes a full protective case for this phone.

Hopefully Trident Cases makes one, they usually take their time to release a case (as they did with the Nexus S) but they are good quality and I've been pleased with their products.
Thanks for the nice review. IMHO the Case-Mate Box is probably better as the four corners of the SGS-2 are protected by the hardcase as well. The Otterbox seems to protected the corners only with the silicone parts.

Hey guys ,
Just shot this video on a pretty cool case. The only problem with this case for me is the colors. No matte, or no cases without the little sparkles on it, however still a pretty solid case
pd.- sorry for the bubbles on my screen! I just installed it lol
Enjoy!

Great review Raul. I had one of these a few weeks ago and they are beautiful, but it's on it's way back for a refund. It just wasn't quite sturdy enough and doesn't hug the device the way I like it.

Anyone have this case? I'm really interested hut couldn't find any videos or more pictures. I'm specifically interested in how big the lip is around the front of the phone. It appears to be much thinner and less intrusive than the diztronic or cruzerlite cases and might even work with a wet screen protector like the zagg?

holy crap this case looks amazing! looks great, dosent look to add much bulk and a pretty reasonable price...i might order one this week and post a review on it but im really looking forward to others reviews on this case, thanks for the find man
There's a few on the i9300 forum that bought it.

Hey folks! So you're most likely like me, a huge Android fan, especially considering you're here, lol
Anyways, i got this sweet case from Cruzerlite.com, the people who make the custom XDA case. Thought i'd share my review of it with you. I LOVE the design on the back, which is why i chose it.
Hope you like it!
Cheers,
Jared
p.s. links to buy it are located in the video about section (aka the video description) at the moment it's on sale for super cheap! Also, it's called the DNA Persona case, not person case, lol. XDA won't let me edit the thread title...lol
Thanks for the review. That ceratinly looks nice, but I miust say it will not absorb impact that much because it is very thin and hard. If you want impact absorption, the case must be thicker (on the sides and corners) and also soft like silicon.
I think the case is tpu. So it should be soft :laugh: Great review
killer
