I know there have been a bunch of people out there looking for wallet cases for the T-Mobile version of the s2. I was one of those people too, but after searching I have found a great wallet case for a good price. The only problem is that it is made for the Galaxy s2 LTE E110(which is slightly different from ours). However, with an exacto knife I was able to make it work out.
There are also a lot of good cases for the skyrocket that can be easily modified to get our phones. Both the skyrocket and the LTE are nearly the same size as ours.
The only modifications I had to make was the positioning for the USB connector and the earphones. The phone fit great into the rubber case otherwise.
How did I find this you ask? Search on eBay for "s2 lte wallet" or "skyrocket wallet" recently I have even seen some actual wallet cases for the t989. Most of them ship from Korea.
This specific one is from a Korean company called solozen. The name of the case is "Hit diary protection" galaxy s2 lte version.
Let me know if you have troubles finding the cases. There are a lot of different brands and styles on eBay and other auction sites.
I hope this helps at least a few people!
Note-I HAVE tried this and it does fit. No problems at all. Please try not to post saying that this wouldn't work because the phones are different. I am well aware with a little modding it can work though.
Another idea was to buy a cheap plastic case for the t989, detach the one that fits the LTE from the wallet part, then glue the t989 cover to it. I didn't end up doing that, but it might be something to try!

wow thanks for posting this, I looked everywhere for a wallet case for S2 t-mobile version... You said that now they make wallet cases for S2 T-mobile? Where did you find this? I looked on ebay and couldn't find any from Korea.
I'm curious about this case too but am also having troubles finding it on eBay. I searched for "s2 lte wallet" first but didn't see any that were a "hit diary protection". Next I searched for "solozen" and there were five with results with "hit diary protection" in the description but they were only for Galaxy S3, Galaxy Note 2, iPhone 5 and Optimus G. I searched for "skyrocket wallet" and there was a result for Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727, but it wasn't sold through "solozen" but rather "totomagirl" (item location was still in South Korea though).
The item sells for $19USD and the photos look similar to what carrman17 posted so it's probably a match.

Would this wallet work for our phones?

That's the same kind as mine except it's the skyrocket version. I'm almost positive it could work with a little modification.
Also, the seller for mine was totomagirl. Most sellers don't put the brand in the description for some reason.
Nice find. I was always under the impression that the skyrocket was a hell of a lot bigger device so cases would never work.

How do you know that ? is it said somewhere in charts ?
Well its been said over and over the lte version will be slightly thicker. I think his conclusion that the gsm version will be slightly thinner is valid. And that has been the case mostly for lte and gsm variants of the same phone.

GSM Galaxy Nexus will be sold in Canada, so that might be a cheaper place to order accessories to fit GSM models than from UK and the rest of Europe...

Soon someone will put up a youtube of the 2 and compare where everything sits
Getting giddy of the thought of an LTE-powered Galaxy Nexus? Well, Google, has just unveiled a full 360-degree view of the Verizon-bound smartphone, and it's packing a bigger caboose. Around 0.6mm thicker than the HSPA+ version available now in the UK, the 4G-stuffed version loses, at least visually, some of its curved charm and the chin's become more prominent too. Fortunately, as the tech specs confirm, the slightly bigger body does cram in an extra 100mAh of battery juice, presumably to feed that LTE radio. Will it feel any different in the hand? It looks like we'll have to wait until Verizon decides to furnish us with one -- whenever that is.

Thought I'd post this for people still wanting a GSM Galaxy Nexus. If I had not bought a Verizon one I would have bought the GSM version.
http://www.icemonkey.com/unlocked-s...012_Ice_Monkey_Deal_4_2_2012&utm_medium=email
Daily Steals/Ice Monkey must have bought a bit stock of these things, they have them on sale every week.
Holy that is quite the deal they are offering. If I didnt have my nexus right now I would consider these deals they are offering.
THis is brand new? And is the site reputable? EDIT: Condition is new!
Anyone ever order from them?
Backstory: I had my NExus S stolen (pick pocketed on a crowded train. Didn't feel a thing. Was a very sad day) and I'm thinking of getting GN unlocked.
This may be the way...
Got my white SGN from ice monkey.
The seal was broken but nothing was missing. It comes with European round plugs and Polish instructions.
I just use one of my many ac to usb bricks to charge the phone. .
The are legit.

well the title of the item says: "UNLOCKED Samsung I9250 Galaxy Nexus 16GB (Black)" So I'm assuming there's no color choice. They're just re-using the stock photo from previous sales that had white/black options available.
Okay thanks. Gonna pull the trigger!

You won't be disappointed. I got mine delivered to me in a day. I live in philly and they ship from Brooklyn so that's why. But one day is insane. Also, my seal wasn't broken. European charger, but customer service was nice enough to mail me a US adapter for free.

Really? I didn't think so. I was under the impression that the GSM and CDMA batteries we're NOT interchangeable. I found the official GSM extended battery from Samsung for sale on Nigrielectronics from other posts but it's sold out.
It's not available on Amazon and I can't find anything but shady looking vendors when I google.
Anyone have any ideas? I (think) know it needs to be the i9250 variety to work on the GSM (play store) version.
The Mugen battery is also listed as sold out.
I got mine on ebay. Took a couple weeks to arrive, tho.

Don't buy from expansys-usa, I tried to purcahse a battery from them (the extended OEM one) and they didn't restock for 2 weeks. I called them to ask when my battery was due and they said "we haven't delievered it", asked for a refund and they gave it me (although a bit rude). Go with shimshop on eBay, I personally brought one from the same shop and it was awesome. They give you a tracking number for international (you can track it here when it's overseas). Then you plug in the number into USPS and it tells you where it is stateside. Took about 2 weeks to arrive and the package was clean, sealed and no dents/scratches (the guy who sells them is very friendly and responds to questions very fast).

GSM batteries and CDMA batteries are NOT the same.
They DO use the same battery as other models though. One is the T-Mobile SGSII I think.
CDMA Verizon has its own extended battery.

I believe the TMo SII and Skyrocket batteries fit the CDMA GNex, not the GSM. I know for a fact that the Skyrocket fits the CDMA GNex, not sure about the TMo SII though.
I bought from shimshop before as well. Great buying experience.

Hey all,
If you are in London, head over to the Samsung Mobile Pins or Samsung Galaxy studios for a free limited edition olympic flip cover.
They are the standard official white samsung flip covers (that replace the backcover) but with a nice olympic/London design.
Ask nicely and you may have to do a few tasks (like drawing on a Galaxy Note).
From the top of my head, MObile Pins/Studios are in Westfield-Shepherd's Bush, Broadgate, Old Spitafields Market, N1 shopping centre, Westfield-Stratford, St Pancras Station, One New Exchange, Stratford International and maybe a few other places that I forget.
I don't know about the availability of the covers. I managed to get one at Stratford International station.
Good luck

I just popped down to Westfield and they do not do them there. When i asked they said its only if you buy the phone.

Can anyone confirm this? I could go to St Pancreas after work, and I'd love a case, but hate to miss my train if they don't have any.

You need to go to the Mobile Pin NOT THE STORE.
As long as you have the Galaxy S3 to show them, you can get it from the places that I mentioned.
My brother and another friend also received them.

eBay, search the topic and you will find pages of discussions and attempts to find the docks from google and/or Samsung
Yeah haha ^
You will be charged an arm and a leg, though. And Verizon ones tend to be more expensive. The docks originally cost $90 new, and now people can sell theirs and make at least that, auctions on eBay can take it up to $120+ and they only pop up every few days.
Best bet is to pounce on a buy it now as soon as possible, then you'd only have to pay $80 or so. Just make sure it's the Verizon dock if you have the VZW GalNex and vice versa.

I am looking to get one too. I don't want to buy the one of ebay. Anyone willing to part with their GSM pogo dock if they aren't using it? I'll offer $40. Or any tips on where I can get a used one in working condition? Amazon doesn't have any, Play obviously doesn't have them on sale anymore. Found a few with bundles on swappa, but seller wouldn't sell it separately. Ebay as mentioned above is shipping from UK and it comes out to like $90 with shipping.

If you want one be ready to put up $90. I got lucky and found a new one for $85ish shipping from Japan

And that's where I got mine ^ recommend him highly!
I'm embarrassed at what I paid for mine, and that was a used one on ebay plus I had to modify it for the toro. I needed it though I've been using a dock on my phones every night for the past few years and wasn't about to give that up. Trust me, these things are damn near extinct and the people who have them know that.
MonoPrice has a nice adaptor for the Galaxy Nexus. I can't post links yet (under 10 posts), but it's product ID 9291
I was thinking about making a dock that uses the internals from that part.
I saw a Verizon Pogo dock going for $180 on eBay the other day... Ugh I hate price gougers...
