Some pics would be realy realy nice, so everybody could see how it fits and if they could get used to it.
EDIT: Also you can add the SGP Neo Hybrid and SGP Neo Hybrid EX to the list. First one has a loose are around the camera (as seen in another thread) and the other one fits nicely.
I would put some pictures up but I don't own all of them, and a few I've checked out in Retail stores, however If I buy any that fit, i'll make sure I post up photos of the fit.
Then just put the pictures in you own. Some others who have the extended battery and a case could send you their pictures and you could implement them into your post.
When I get my S2, 2000 mAh battery and decided for a case i will do some pictures for you, too.
PS: You could link every name of the cases to their official pages, too.
Here are some:
SGP Neo Hybrid EX: sgpstore.com/cell-phone/samsung/galaxy-s2/sgp-samsung-galaxy-s2-case-neo-hybrid-ex-series.html
SGP Neo Hybrid: sgpstore.com/cell-phone/samsung/galaxy-s2/sgp-samsung-galaxy-s2-case-neo-hybrid-series.html

Case-Mate Barely There: case-mate.com/Samsung-Galaxy-S-II-Cases/Case-Mate-Samsung-Galaxy-S-II-Barely-There-Cases.asp
Hope I can help improving your thread I think your thread can help very many people.
Would love to know about the Otterbox Commuter compatibility.

Hi all!
Yes, as most soft cases the Graphix fits, but you'll see some looseness in the camera section. Also, I did not like the grip of this case at all, it felt slippery imo.
I went for the Neon hybrid instead, very satisfied.
How tight is the fit on the Case Mate Tough case with the 2000mah battery? I like the look of it and just placed an order for it. Is it so tight that there's a risk of damaging the phone?
Zenus Skin Air Jacket
Just got the new battery and put it in my Zenus Skin Air Jacket... dont know what to say... sadly it doesnt fit... but its useable.
The edge of the phone comes out a bit and therefore the access to the volume and powerbutton is limited.
I made some photos but cant post the links due lack of postcount
The Walnutt bumper fits for sure, but hell, it it even fits my Momax 2700mah Expower batts, so that's a moot point.
I am within the M25 and have an otterbox for my S2 if you need to try it then pm me.
what is the sense of using a bumper of a sgp neo hybrid ?
i mean, isnt the purpose of a case to cover the whole phone? both the examples above mentioned appear to just cover the borders of the phone, leaving uncovered the whole back of it.
actually sgp neo hybrid series sounds just like a overpriced bumper.
anyone, can prove the opposite?
actually i am very interested in this because it looks like there is no real hard non/bumper case fitting with the new battery: and the only (crappy) solutions appear to be either bumpers or gum/rubber cases ...

IT fits but the rubber part is under a small amount of pressure, pushing the phone out of the hard plastic casing. it is MINIMAL, if your like me and fiddle with your phone all the time, it is just a case of pushing it with the lightest touch back in.
It won't damage the phone unless your trying the impossible (pushing the phone into the bottom cutout.) and pushing so hard you crack the hard plastic shell in otherwords impossible. the ideal would be to cut the rubber out in the shape of the battery lid compartment. on the rubber part, then assembling with the hard casing. so you remove the tension off the added thickness.
if I have a hybrid neo spg .... and put the battery without the back cover ... only with the case spg ... looks good? or can cause problems? (Sorry for my English)

Cool. Thanks for the detailed description. I hate to mangle new case, but I may have to do that. Wonder if cutting out the battery compartment rubber part may reduce shock resistance of the case.
Can anyone tell me if it will fit in the Samsung Leather Pouch?
If not are there any other 'pouch' style cases that will?
thanks
I have been using these on my Galaxy S2 and Tab. I didn't like the idea when I was browsing for a new case on Ebay, but when I got it, I soon changed my mind!
If anyone finds anything like it then please post on this thread!
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Gel-TPU-C..._MobilePhonesCasesPouches&hash=item43a90b8802
looks like a great idea....but i think i would prefer if the clear stand part be black or grey in colour instead
They come in many different colours and styles. And with stand / without stand
I found something very similar (or identical):
http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/522134318/S_Line_Crystal_Plastic_TPU_Protector.html
There are other variants on alibaba, the only problem is that the minimum quantity is usually 50-100 pieces :-/
EDIT: found it on ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/BLACK-HYBRI...AU_MobilePhoneAccessories&hash=item48436c47a9
I bought one before seeing this thread.
When I receive it, I'll tell you if its good/bad etc
when i find something good
，will let you know
I searched on ebay for "galaxy note kickstand case TPU" and got a result:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/BLACK-HYBRI...AU_MobilePhoneAccessories&hash=item48436c47a9
I eneded up ordering for around $8 the kickstand case with included car charger and 3 screen protectors. Will reply here with a review here once I get it.
I bought one of these too. I figure you can't go wrong for $5.

For $8 I got a car charger, 3 screen protectors and the case.
The case:
Black TPU and Grey Silicon.
Kickstand is Silicon and a part of the case's mainframe.
The Kickstand works well.
The TPU is knife-proof and tamper proof, but dont drop it from a 2.5+ metre height.
The TPU has textured sides which help with grip A LOT.
All the holes and ports (pen) are easily accessible.
The buttons are covered but NOT hard to press.
Whole case is quite thin, so its not very "drop proof" but very resistant to heat and cuts.
Did I say it is thin, so it still fits in my pockets easily.
Verdict: 9/10
This has replaced my Carbon Fibre case (which was protective). This case is a MUST HAVE for any NOTE owners.
Sidenote: I also bought the GPS holder ($6) from the same seller "telegaming", it is also a high quality piece.
OK guys..
Need some tips for selecting which case I should get for my GN. I want my phone to be as sleek as possible with the case on. Using stock battery.
Now, not many shops are stocking accessories yet for the GN. So I have to give eBay a go this time around.
I have shortlisted these two cases:
BLACK GEL S Line TPU Hybrid Cover Case Skin for SAMSUNG GALAXY NEXUS I9250
Black Soft S TPU Silicone Case Cover Skin for Samsung i9250 Galaxy Nexus
Is there any difference between the above two cases ? They have the same pictures and description. Just the title is different. :/
How are the above cases different from the Diztronic mentioned below ?
Diztronic Samsung Galaxy Nexus Matte Back TPU Case Gel Cover & Screen Protector
Thanks
Im rocking the black and clear Andy from site listed below. Do understand any case will add some bulk but this one is very little. Also adds nice protection to the front in case you drop it to protect the screen from cracking.....it doesnt have the volume keys cut out but it doesnt bother me....plus its not rubber so no lint being stuck

Also, he said he has a new case coming out that I will def be checking out once it comes out. You can see a preview here

I have one of those first one, the S TPU case and I think it is a perfect case. The added grip at the sides make it very comfortable to hold without fear of dropping it. Go for it

Just made the jump from S2 to S3. I have the QCell extended battery and TPU case. Anyone know of a belt/horizontal leather case that will hold this monster?
I'll be checking this thread. I don't have an extended battery but I have the Otter Box Commuter on mine. Would like to find a nice belt case. I still can't get used to putting it in my pocket.

Look for a luximo case.. I am not sure it can hold an otterbox, but it has stretching sides and is larger than most belt cases. It worked well for me. I found mine on ebay, but I have seen it on amazon as well. A simple search for S3 and luximo should find it.
Luxmo
I have the Luxmo horizontal case myself (with magnetic front flap, two-belt-loop and one clip on back). It works reasonably well.
I have a cheap no-name hard-shell case on the SG3 (which I now use without the original accompanying holster because the holster grip got loose and the SG3 slipped out and fell to the ground twice; but that's a separate topic).
Although the SG3+hard case fits the Luxmo case, putting in and taking out is a two-handed operation as the phone doesn't "slide" in/out easily. This is due to the Luxmo's side elastics catching on the USB port or headphone jack opening of the hard case. Perhaps a more "slippery" TPU case or smooth plastic case would work better.
But the SG3+hard case does fit inside the Luxmo snuggly and I've been pretty happy with it.
I always carry my S3 in my pocket and, it always leads to it being scratched from the constant movement.
All the screen protectors that I tried previously were all horribly scratched or would leave smudges and residue on the screen protector.
I'm planning on getting a pouch, preferably the Crumena pouch for the S3. Having a pouch that would snuggly fit my S3 would prevent the scratches.
Any recommendations?

I used this when going naked:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/White-Pull-...799329?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item27c883b521
Good material and well-made too. Not sure if/how the belkin could be too much better.
However if you want something to use with a case go this route..
http://www.ebay.com/itm/271015599116?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
Wow, the Crunema looks pretty nice! Seems much better than both the belkin and the ebay pull-tab case. On both of those, sometimes its tough to tell which side of the phone the pull-tab goes on and you have to peek inside the case before inserting your phone. Having the pull-tab on the side makes it clear the proper orientation and no more having to peek inside.. .kind of like that But for an extra $25 maybe not so much..
Thanks for the recommendation! That's way cheaper than the crumena. The shops in my area are selling the similar products at $20... Do the leather wear and tear with prolonged usage?
I use a black leather suncase pouch, its very high quality, i love it
