Video Review: REARTH RINGKE CASE!!!

Hi Guys,
Taking a look at the Rearth Ringke for the Galaxy S II, a high-quality silicone (don't let the material fool you) case that wraps around your device nicely and features an AWESOME coating that prevents dust, fingerprints and dirt.
Watch the full review below:

not a fan of silicone even if the quality is epic lol.

Haha, understandable, although I do think one needs to feel the material in person to judge it - it really is NOTHING like standard silicone.

Have this in the smoky black, really nice case.

If you end up buying it, let me know how you like it! It really is a good everyday case that provides everything you need except it falls short on protection.

ploone..sorry to post again but can i ask the videos that are coming soon?

It's a great slim-line case. I just wish the side lips that come over the screen were a little more ridgid; I think they come off too easily at the moment. (But I'm very picky).
Thanks for the review.

why does it look EXACTLY like the SGP silicone case (which is superb)?

If you're talking about the Ultra Silke, there is only so much a manufacturer can change on a silicone case, both have perfect cutouts. The materials are different, while they are both coated with polymers, the Ringke is smooth and grainy where as the Ultra Silke is flatter and has no real texture.
The front of the cases are different as well - the Ringke has cutouts for the home button and front facing camera, Ultra Silke does not.

relax dude. I'm not hating. I just had a closer look and I saw the differences.
I'm just curious though, how can the Ringke be smooth yet grainy at the same time? I find the problem with Silicone skins to be the fact that they're rather rough-ish and feel sorta powdery.
I change batteries frequently and I need a skin that won't expand with repeated "extractions" lol.

Sorry If I sounded angry, I wasn't at all haha. The texture itself is very unique, not powdery/sticky at all.
It's ultra smooth but you can feel a 'matte' texture, similar to that of an anti fingerprint screenshield, which is grainy but smooth.
As for daily usage, I do believe if you are careful not to stretch excessively, you should be fine.

Recommend an SGP protector

I hear alot of good things about SGP and was wondering which choice will give me the following in order of importance.
1. smooth surface for easy finger gliding
2. Thin material
3. Non-matte screen
4. anti smudge
Thanks guys, im confused with all the options

Thanks for the response...but why the crystal one? Does it meet all the criteria I mentioned above?
Thanks.

Crystal one meets all your needs plus some. Smooth like glass to the touch. Make sure you have a TRUE dust free area to install it.

Cool thanks for the tip. Does anyone know if its possible to get the whole body protection, but with a crystal screen protector? I don't see that option

The crystal clear works really well for my SGSI, almost smudge free though someone with really sharp fingernails--I think--managed to scratch the top right corner of the SP. The same protector on my SGSII seems to attract a lot more smudges, for some strange reasons. But I've tried enough protectors with the SGSI to stick to the crystal clear. To me, it has the best balance between clarity, viewing angles and protection.

yes..it has the smooth touch feeling 100%.no other protector has this .
.screen looks like there is no protector on..the sp name is correct..
very easy to install..
other sgp protectors are better only on fingerprints and smudges(but even on that the crystal clear is fine..much better than other clear protectors

where can we find this crystal one?
edit: you probably talking about this one: http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/sgp-ultra-crystal-screen-protector-for-samsung-galaxy-s2-p30581.htm

Buy it straight from their web site:
http://www.sgpstore.com/cell-phone/...amsung-galaxy-s2-screen-protector-series.html
My oleophobic one arrived this friday. Packaged very well. The shipping was quick. Took 12 days and thats coming through south african customs which can be a real *****

so how is the feeling of the protector? Does it slow down the touch operation?
you propose the oleophobic one? not the crystal?

I have the ultra crystal, a great screen protector, and pretty easy to put on.
It gets smudged a lot more than the screen without it on, but the feel is still good.
My keys ran across the screen, and left what looked like a scratch, I panicked, then just wiped it off, so far so good!

Doesn't seem anyone got the full body protection?

ultra optics is the best

Ultra optics get dirty after a few weeks, and are hard to clean. They also make a zip sound when you run your finger on it.

See my thread here for the Ultra Crystal (aka "Crystal Clear" -- I assume) SP from SGP: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1219115#
I am awaiting for its arrival tomorrow, but it seems to be the best if you want: clarity & protection (thickest of all the SGP SPs). However, from the reviews, it tends to be a fingerprint magnet.

Has anyone bought a Steinheil Ultra Optics Protector

If anyone has...
Does it look grainy at all?
Does it attract fingerprints?

I've used the Crystal,Oleo,Optics and Ultra Matte.
My favorite is the Oleo since its super clear but has absolutely no smudge protection, the Optics also offers a midway smudge protection with a tad bit blurring.
The Crystal is a smudge and glare magnet while the Ultra Matte is just blurry hell but has no smudges.

I have a UO one right now on my Note, but I am unhappy about the cutting. There's a gap at the top above the speakerphone. I don't remember SGP being this sloppy.

I've been trying to get a UO for the note but it looks like they've stopped making them. Maybe to correct the cut problem?

How's the quality of your Ultra Optics screen protector?
Does it affect the clarity and awesome SGN screen?

Quality's great, although it is hard to clean. No way to use a dry cloth for this, gotta be slightly damp.

Btw any reason for choosing Ultra Optics over Ultra Oleo?

I just like the feel of the Ultra Optics. The Ultra Oleo isn't very finger friendly for games.

Video Review: SGP Ultra Thin Air Case

Hey fellas,
Got my hands on SGP's new Ultra Thin air case. This is a standard snap back case that differentiates from most by being the thinnest I've seen around, it is RAZOR thin. This leads to an almost naked feel, adds very little bulk and weight but at the same time it won't protect much. It features a UV crystal coated backing which has smooth & comfortable feel. The case comes included with an Ultra Nano Clear screenshield, so it is good value for money too.
Check out the full review below:

I can't say I see the point. It's decorative, but not really functional. This won't protect anything.

Yeah - as I mentioned this only protects from scratches so if you need drop protection, avoid this. For light users or if you want something very slim, this is a good option.

If only it covered the top and bottom and had a slight lip on it, it would be great for me.

I love SGP but that made by sgp on the side is taking the branding too far.
I ordered the SGP Modello which looks quite nice. We will see how it turns out.

Some people seem to think so, it doesn't bother me too much to be honest. The Modello looks cool, I'd love to hear what you think of it.

nice video mate...i prefer my 5$ ebay case because i am cheap,ha ha but not a bad case

I hate cases.

I'm using a Cruzerlite TPU case and even though it's a slim line case, I still tihnk it's too thick and detracts too much from the phone.
I want a body cover solution like Bodyguardz or Ghost Armor, carbon fiber design. Will I be able to use the SGP Glas.T with these body covers and which one is a higher quality?
Is Bodygear/Ghost Armor even worth it? Will it actually protect what it covers well enough for me to consider hiding the metal finish?

I use this clear case because of the same reason.

I use the clear Cruzerlite case, it's still too bulky. It's a very slim case but I don't like how the TPU material feels.

I have had skins from skinit and they are good for 2-3 months but then start to peel

I bought a body protector and tried using that with the double dip case but my phone got stuck halfway in the case and scratched it up lol. but anyways I gives the phone more grip, you could use any screen protector you want but if u drop it you might scuff up the corners. The way you apply it on the corners it leaves some of the corners exposed and sometimes it doesn't stick to the phone well. Mine was skinomi but there's is a little more thick and would maybe have better protection for drops but that got ruined in my case. so I bought a armorsuit which I think I used before and the screen protector is a little thinner and clearer. I'll take pics when I put it on and tell you what I think about it.

This thread is being closed. There were several options suggested. If you don't appreciate help or suggestions I would recommend not asking for them. If you feel you need more options I would recommend going to www.amazon.com and reading the reviews on some of the cases there.
Also, calling others names because you disagree with them is uncalled for and will not be tolerated on XDA.
Thank you,
