Good for us looking for cases for day 1 protection just seen MobileDen and MobileFun have the FlexiShield cases in stock, guess if we are spending £500 at least we should give this baby some protection for now!
Both selling for £9.99 ex delivery.
that's sweet!
this is what i like about the Galaxy S line
accessories always are out before the device is even on the street
How is this a TPU case?
Just recently heard about these, so I don't know much about them, but it doesn't seem like this is a TPU case.
it sure looks like one, TPU is a kind of polyurethane plastics which holds up great not like the old silicone case which lost it's shape pretty quickly
Think a mod edited my original title! I've got a very similar case on my DHD got it from fleabay and they are very good!
yes i did
i'm using that exact same case on my Nexus S
better price in my opinion so i got my self two of each

Cheers will take a look at that they are usually nice without adding much thickness to the phone itself.

Thanks for the link I just bought the purple one from them as like a bit of colour and it's only £1.95 so can always get a different one if I don't like it lol
As for the case in the OP it's already had a negative review for being too slippery so I hope this one isn't the same. I'm a Capdase user for my HD2 and was hoping there'd be one available for the SII but there's not just yet so this one will do till it becomes available. Thanks again.

Great news
On their eu site it shows the case and I like what I see. Looked around and it appears that its coming soon. I was wondering if anyone knew about availability? I have an inquiry in and will report back if it hasn't already been dug up and reported here.
edit... I should have put a link here, my bad. Here is a link to the goods. ---> http://www.case-mate.eu.com/samsung-galaxy-s-2-tough-case-black.html
I don't have any news but thanks for sharing that link. I've been looking to see if Case-Mate was preparing any cases yet for the SG2.
Have you had one previously? I'm running a siedio case right now that I really like. It is a hard rubbery feeling outside that gives some grip but it doesn't collect lint or get stuck in pockets. This is what I'm looking for.
barely there case is out..2 sellers on ebay.uk and amazon uk too..
but i can not find the other hard case

Yes I did. I liked it, nice looking, not too thick and had a nice solid feel to it when you grasped the phone. It slide in and out pretty easily and didn't pick up stuff from my pockets.

I'm going to try out the Barely There case for now... I've had those before too. Not nearly as protective but I'd rather try one of these out than some of the odd stuff we are seeing so far.
I ordered some gel cases from Deal Extreme that still haven't shown up yet - a little worried using my SGS II without a case (it's a bit slippery). I like the look of the Case-Mate barely there or Safe Skin - will pick one up in London week after next (I'm sure CPWH will have them...)
Case-mate has responded to my email this morning. They expect to have them available to the public in two weeks.
Hi,
I always use the case-mate tough case on a of my phones, andhave one on pre order from mobile den, cpwh will bedding then for around £25 and the barely there will be much cheaper but to me does not provide grip or good protection.

I purchased this http://www.case-mate.eu.com/samsung-galaxy-s-2-gelli-case-clear.html and the screen protector that shipped with it is totally the wrong size and has no hole for the home button. it is too short and too narrow almost a galaxy s screen protector with no hole for the home button. I checked 3 different carphone warehouse and they are all the same. I emailed case mate and was told they knew the screen protector didn't fit but just use it anyway.
Really disappointed in the company. No reason at all this should be sold like this. The case is very nice however but at £13 its not cheap if you have no screen protector
Dont know if this will be the same just to let you know
I dont use screen protectors, hate em. Nevertheless I don't like the sound of an outfit shipping a piece that to my mind would be useless and not what was represented. What is your feelings on the fit of the case itself in regards to the cut outs and so on? Overall quality? Value?
This is now available on amazon uk, I have one on the way so I will post up with my impressions after I have it in hand.
Case-mate now available on Clove's website.

Looks pretty cool. Might order one
nice.. but is expensive.. will wait for a chinese maker to come up with a replica ;-)
I agree ^ looks quite nice but is a bit too expensive. If a cheaper alternative becomes available, I might just grab one.
This looks to be the best case for the note yet.
How well made is it?
Is it as protective as a casemate or otterbox commuter?
Hell, I might get this case

Curious about this one as well.
I was going to wait for the casemate, but this looks just as good as the other versions of casemate imo. And why wait when your phone could get scratched up? It takes 10 days minimum to ship, so if you guys are on the fence about ordering it, order soon cause the wait is kinda long

Hah. After waiting over a month to get a case that I payed express shipping for, I could care less. I just look forward to getting a case itself.

Don't forget that orders from China can take a long time around new year, and...
any other time of the year
Can the owners comment how much extra thickness does it add to the note?
From the pictures it looks like it will add more thickness than a TPU silicone case.
And how soft are the insides against the phone? No point having a protective cover that leaves a permanent dent on the unit. Thanks in advance
I would advise against the white colour, because over time it will absorb the colour of your jeans/bad etc etc.
The black and Cyan is a good combo, it reminds me of ICS and CyanogenMod. Plus the black will fit nicely with a locked screen + bezel.
I don't think they were specially contructed like the Otterbox (those things take a beating), but it looks quite protective. However its so thick that I wont be getting it as it wont fit in my pockets anymore.
I've already bought the Black&Gray TPU-Silicon case (with kickstand) and I'll post my impressions when I get some "hands on"
just ordered one too, kinda expensive but hopefully its a nice case

I have this case in all clear. All the holes line up correctly as long as you put it on right. The only issue I have with it is the kickstand rubs on the back of the phone when you open it and may eventually leave small marks if used enough.
I ordered the same case in black without the kickstand and I am going to put my FlyGrip back on it. This thing is awesome as long as you don't mind the extra thickness.

Is a nice case. I was looking for it myself until i bought the rock. However, I think this is a knockoff of the Nillkin case. I look everywhere for the Nillkin and was selling for over 20 bucks so i end up passing.

I received the case yesterday. I'll tell you what, if it is a knockoff, they did a pretty damn good job. The case isn't as "plasticy" as I thought it was. It has a hard rubbery feel to it. It looks exactly like the one in the pics, to a tee.

Shipping took almost 3 weeks but for the price, I can't complain. Adds almost no bulk and fits perfectly. All the holes line up

I tried out a Body Glove case at an at&t store and it feels way better than the case I mentioned above. I finally put my Flygrip on it today. It's a bit expensive, but it makes the phone more comfortable and you really can't tell the difference in your pocket. It also helps keep the speaker off wherever you placed your phone so it doesn't dampen your notifications / ringtones.
I just got my cheapo TPU kickstand case
(http://www.ebay.com/itm/TPU-Plastic...ccessories&hash=item4845f27e73#ht_3661wt_1396)
It's actually pretty nice so far! The matte pieces are harder plastic, and the clear parts are softer TPU. I was a little worried that the sides would be uncomfortable to hold, but the texture is fairly dull so they don't poke your fingers.
The big draw for me was the kickstand, which is mostly ok. It works, in that it flips out. I do have two concerns though... (1) as you can see, there's no other layer underneath, so when it's open that part of the back case is exposed. This isn't a big problem except I expect it to trap a bit of lint and stuff. Then, (2) hopefully there is enough clearance for it to open that it's not rubbing on the phone all the time. It's also a little hard to get a fingernail in there to open it, but not horrible. It's hard to complain too badly for $7.50, including a screen protector, a neat little stylus (which is actually pretty great, probably the best touchscreen stylus I've used so far), and an entertaining Engrish manual.
Disclaimer: Fitment review is TBD, however, it fits my new cardboard GS3 pretty well (pictured) Now, I just need my real one! I also got the clear version to show off my pebble blue, as opposed to the pictured "white" model.
Edit: I should also note that I got some of those XtremeGuard body skins that were on sale and plan to put them on as well. So, hopefully that will protect the back case against possible wear from the kickstand, as well as mitigating the issue with that section of the case being "open".

Sent from my Nexus 5
is there anyway to get 2 day shipping if i order a case from cruzerlite?? i went on there site but i only see standard shipping? i need a case bad.. no sprint stores have them.. best buy dont have them.. radio shack.. no one has any nexus 5 cases at all.. so i want to order one.. will have to find a family memeber to order for me cause i dont have a bank card anymore..
For my last 3 phones I evertime just had a normal TPU case without any "extra armor" and no phone ever took some damage of falling. This is a great video he made! It shows that for normal daily usage an "armor" case is pretty oversized and a normal TPU layer (like I am going to get from Diztronic for my N5 like I have for my GNex) is absolutely enough protection.
My GNex looks like on the first day I got it (almost 2 years) and I used it first with a very cheap TPU case and then with the Diztronic ones (in this time I dropped the phone lot of times)

There may not be phyical damage, but I used to use a simple tpu case like this with my iphone and even though it didnt look damaged, I did overtime damage lots of internal components. I had to replace, both microphones, front facing camera and charger port. Having something with a little more shock absorption is nice in the long run.

Looks like two models to me, standard tpu (3x style to choose from), or spi-froce. The case in the video looks like a blue Androidified A2, but any of the standard TPU would feature the same protection IMO.

Oh wow, I'm glad I decided to use a case from day 1.
I bought the red cruzerlite circuit case.
Unfortunately, cruzerlite cases tend to peel of my screen protector when applied, so I use spigen ultra hybrid instead.
It's a shame because I really like the color.
