I know people mentioned in other threads that they were buying these from Ebay such as these listings: http://www.ebay.com/itm/For-Motoral...l_Phone_Screen_Protectors&hash=item4d1b0a9cbe
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Tempered-Gl...l_Phone_Screen_Protectors&hash=item23386382f0
How are they holding up? Any issues installing them? How is the sensitivity especially the navigation keys? Is the protector repelling fingerprints well? How is it cut, the pictures show a large cutout area for the speaker/light sensor area but glass still above the speaker, is that a problem with cases?
I have the Mime and my only issue is at the nav key area its not as sensitive, if I rub hard across the nav key area it does improve for a while. I'm using a TPU case so there is no issues with fitment and I don't have any overhang from the protector.
Our country is not recommended for buying ebay... I do not use it in past. So i have no experience about that.. But i asking you is it give good feedback ours ?
i got it on mine right now. coming from 2x MIME that i shattered, here are my findings:
1. a little trickier to install than MIME. instead of touch-n-watch magic, u actually have to evenly press it. no biggies though.
2. cut a little BETTER than MIME. it's still not perfect. shaped still like MIME, but not as bad as MIME.
3. About the same sensitivity and still no issue with sensors or what not.
4. It's a bit thicker and not very well cut on the edges. It's cut in an angle so it's very smooth at the edges when you run your fingers; BUT this is also a problem as very bright screen when viewed from an angle will create some sort of "holographic" edge, if u know what i mean.... hard to explain, but it can be annoying if u like to view ur phone from the side........
Overall though, for 2 weeks FREE shipping and costs $5.... (vs MIME's $20 with shipping all the way here in Canada), it's really good.
At the very least, it's good enough that you do NOT want to go back to plastic protector... (oh gawd Skinomi, i still hate you and your super sticky films)
here's some pic actually...

It's always a pain putting those on though. You can never quite get it to look as perfect as the pictures show, unless you get one of those Indian guys from the mall to put it on.
putting a $20 skin on plastic back that will be a $10 item seems silly. I bet we see $10 back covers all over the place soon.

I haven't received my phone yet, but I am thinking about putting a BestSkinsEver skin on the back. I realize the back will probably be sold on eBay for $10 at some point, but I hear the phone can get a little slippery and the skins add just the right amount of rubbery tackiness to keep the phone from slipping out of my hand.
Having a lot of experience in this subject (see link in signature), I can go ahead and tell you that if you don't have a lot of experience, you won't get that skin to wrap around the corners and edges properly and make it look the way you want it to. Good luck, but it seems like throwing away money because you sure won't be satisfied with the results!
Its easy to get on. Cut the backing down the middle, then tape the other end to the phone. Then remove the half of the skin backing, then the other. And any wrinkles just heat with a blowdryer and its perfect.
is it actually a carbon fibre cover or just plastic?

thats what i thought, ill just wait for the rubber back cover at least that will add some protection.
I have ordered this and it is en route to my house!!!
Just picked this up for £9.95 from Phones 4U and I'm really impressed with it.
Nice mesh effect with a silver Galaxy S 2 badge.

Yeah... Ive written off its waterproofing ability!

Any pics ?
How is the grip/feel? Does it feel rubbery/tacky; or plastic/smooth/slippery? LOL
I wish I could find this thing in the U.S. All I have found is Hong Kong/UK, Paypal only, 2-3 weeks delivery etc...
Try ebay a seller selling for 7.95 or offer. I made £5 offer and they excepted, awaiting delivery, some1 has a pic on a different thread. Looks very nice!!!
I also have one of these, but it leaves the top and bottom exposed, so I also use the HTC HD7 leather pouch and with the hard case it combines perfect, got the leather pouch from o2 but they are cheaper from amazon ;-)
I got these pictures from another site:
http://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/995514-samsung-galaxy-s-ii/page__st__90
Here is what the original author had to say about it:
Previous pics online stores of the official case don't give the impression of it looking as expensive as it does in person so hopefully my pics will help change that
The material is plastic/rubberised but it's not as rubbery as other cases, it won't show finger greasy marks like others and appears to be black inside and out so chips/scrapes won't show the undercoat which is good news as my Desire case had white showing on every edge!
I like the drilled look too, I don't think it's to help heat escape but more a design feature and does help grip too.
It also provides a bit of a lip on the front so if the phone is placed face down then the screen is protected from surface contact.

After dropping my phone in my room last night, it's been relegated to storage, impacted with carpeted floor, and shot off out the door, phone left on the floor screen down. Imagine that in the high street, even if it offers minimum protection it should atleast stay on the phone.
Yes we all heard about your accident
You got unlucky, that is all.
dunno mate i'm pretty careful and a little OCD about fitment, but it was off my desk, i mean surely a little more sturdy?
Something occured to me in the office, some thin doublesided tape could work wonders.
I think you got unlucky dude
My HTC Magic suffered a facial scare (the girls love scars, afterall!) yet my Desire was fine
do you have the link of ebay? I cant find this case anywhere.
try here, if you are in the uk:

The cheap eBay Bumper case I posted about on another board arrived today and it looks quite good until you pick it up and notice how thin and light it is which kind of goes hand in hand with it's massively small £3 price. It does the job fine on a S2 with the stock battery though but with extended battery the lip surrounding the front bezel is less pronounced.
It is not great with the Zenis dock either as it doesn't sit flush whereas the Zenis one does. I was expecting it to fit fine but the bottom is not sitting nicely like the Walnutt bumper does.
So far I think the Walnutt case looks the best and also feels like it's worth some ££ too. I especially like the lip bearing the Walnutt brand name on the back, it kind of completes an otherwise baron backside, something that the SGP NeoHybrid EX bumper lacks although I'm sure the SGP feels every bit as good and expensive as the Walnutt ones.
Considering the Walnutt bumper is thicker than the cheap eBay one I was surprised it was exactly the same thickness when put on the phone, I put it on my dad's S2 with stock battery to compare in the pics below.

Nice review as always. Wouldn't mind one myself.
Huh suprised. I ll order one

Wow 10 pounds for shipping to Spain! What a RIP OFF. I'll write the seller and see what he says. I doubt though that he'll change the price. I've had books and computer parts delivered for less!

I don't use screen protectors
Got this case from Tmart.com. It comes in 2 pieces and they give you an extra color to change. I ordered the light blue+yellow/grey. The material has a nice grip but its not that "grippy". The case wouldnt provide that much protection from drops. The case quality is superb for its price. I was browsing around their website and they seem to have cheaper cases than the one i bought. I would reccmmend this case for people who dont need much protection but want to interchange cases depending on color and looks.
This is the case I bought

Other S3 cases on their site.

The case fits with my Glass screen protector which is edge to edge and a little thicker than most screen protectors.

Lol i agree with you but I didnt want to pay for a aluminium home button sticker and used a free one. I change my screen protectors depending on my case(Which was a grey one today). I guess I should have changed the screen protector before I did the review.

No, I got the red aluminium button from a red aluminium frame and the yellow screen protector is a glasszone bulletproof.
I dont think i did this case properly. I was using some crappy color settings
heres some pics with the green front and yellow battery cover
Lol, looks better with the red button. my bad dude.

Out of curiosity I too ordered these SPECIFICALLY because they do not curve. Of all the TGSP I've tried they all inevitably fail due to the lack of full screen adhesion (bar the Whitestone ones, but seriously....£45 for a screen protector?? Nah!) so would like to see how this one performs and if it affects touchscreen sensitivity at all.
Should be here next week so I too will drop an update to see how it is!

These are terrible due to our curved screens. You will see a line where the screen starts to curve and you will feel it when you use certain swipes with the curved screen. Sorry.
