Wife wants a bumper for her gs2

My wife has finally upgraded from her x10 mini to a nice new white galaxy s2. She loves the phone so much she want some protection BUT at the same time doesn't want the whole or most of the phone covered in a case or skin.
Her sister owns a iPhone and has one of the bumpers on it and she seems to want something similar but in smooth plastic not gel/rubber.
I've done quite a bit of searching on Google but so far nothing has impressed her!
If anyone has any advise on a good quality one I would much appreciate it. I'm not fussed about price but want good quality!
Oh and its essential that its in either green red or blue.

sgp neo hybrid ex... the best around and also comes with screen protector.

I'd get a Sweet Armor-GS2 from Gmarket, looks pretty pimpin.

dealextreme offers plenty of covers/bumpers for sgs2 for friendly prices. just search i9100 on their site. I am using translucent grey silicone one, but they have many colors for your wife to choose from ;-)
P.S.: in what times we are living in ? I'm just a noob here - not the terrorist.

Thanks for your replies! I will have a look later with her.

Anyone got a link of the best place to get from?

Search for SGP Neo Hybrid EX, you have 6 color to choose from, one of the best Bumper. Color are nice, I have a gold one here.

Uh guys, the Neo Hy is NOT a bumper case. The Linear ones are though, once you ditch the back cover.
Anyways, off the top of my head:
Metal
1) Akiba slider (hard to get)
2) Taurus
3) Sweet Armor
Hard Plastic
1) SGP Linear
Hybrid TPU/PC
1) Walnutt bumper
I'm using the walnut and it's a nice mix of hard plastic and smooth TPU, buttons are a bit hard to press, but it's nothing a cutter blade and a few seconds of cutting can't handle.

The SGP Neo Hybrid cases aren't bumpers but, the Neo Hybrid Ex cases are bumpers. The outer plastic shell on the Neo Hybrid is what the Neo Hybrid Ex is.
@OP the Neo Hybrid Ex is probably the best bet if you want a plastic bumper. SGP makes quality products (own a SP and the Neo Hybrid case from them) and I haven't had any problems.
Hope this helps.

My bad, folks. If the EX is a hybrid bumper like the Walnutt (I've seen pics and it seems to have silicone on the inside) it should be a very good option for the OP.

Leather side case

I am looking for a quality leather side case. I see lots of cases that protect the phone and snap on to the phone, and that is great, but how do you carry the phone? My EVO has a snap on case, but I have a leather OEM side case that clips on my belt, not a pouch, or verticle hanger, but a nice horizontal, magnetic closure side case that has a quality clip for my belt. Been thru the cheap ones, want one that will last.

I use Monaco cases, They are by far the best cases i have ever used and fit well.

thanks
Lilmoney30, thanks, that is exactly what I am looking for!

:good:

I got a handmade custom leather side case from Clay at Maclay Leather -- he charged my $50 + shipping. He's a one man craft operation in PA. I'll put a link in to the auction where I'm selling my old, identical-looking case. Unfortunately for me, that one doesn't fit the HTC once you put a case on it.

That link is for an S3 case, not an HTC One.

I've ordered this one:

And in the past I've had very good luck with tuff as nuts, although they are expensive. If you order the "X" belt system it will absolutely never fall off your belt:

Thank you for your message very, I think HTC phones are very good stylish appearance, the quality of the sophisticated technology, satisfying screen and ringtones are other brands of mobile phones do not have.

Has anyone found a good case that the mic holes line up ?

I have so far ordered a whole plethora of cases from Amazon and none of the mic holes line up with my Verizon note 4 has anyone found any cases yet that are good that the mic holes line up on

Galaxy Note 4 Case, Spigen Tough Armor Case for Note 4 - Retail Packaging
---------- Post added at 07:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:30 PM ----------
Reviews for this case on amazon says the holes have been modified and fixed to support verizon.
---------- Post added at 07:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:31 PM ----------
I bought one and am getting my note 4 tomorrow. I already have the case waiting in hand so I can let you know for sure tomorrow.

Otterbox commuter.

Supposedly this one has been updated...

Mine has a hole on either side of the USB port. I assume it's correct but I don't have the phone yet to verify. Regardless, great price, fast shipping and it looks like full retail packaging.

Maxboost. Amazing case. Fits the wholes and very slim.

My Speck Candy-Shell Grip case lines up perfectly. I don't think I'll ever buy another case.

My Supcase Unicorn Beetle Hybrid fits really well and mics work perfectly.

Thanks I will Def look into these

Spigen sent me updated tpu's for both my slim armor and neo hybrid. They work fine now.

The Spigen tough Armor case works with Verizon phones. Both mic holes line up perfectly.

the diztronic TPU has the elongated hole to fit the Verizon version. it's a great TPU.

Urban Armor Gear case. You won't regret it.

Could people link to the cases they're speaking of on Amazon?
Edit: I would also like to know about the screen on button, when I first got my note I purchased this Hybrid Holster Combo Case with Kick-Stand & Belt Clip and it seems like it's always turning on the screen and doing weird stuff. Also, the microphone hole does NOT line up.

ISO rugged case

I kayak a lot and I'm looking for a waterproof, rugged case that also protects my phone. Does anyone have any ideas?
Sent from my ONEPLUS A3000 using Tapatalk

I'm not aware of any case for the 3/T that is designed to be waterproof, though some of the bulkier cases seem to offer at least some degree of water resistance. If you're on rapid waters though, I would advise you to use one of those waterproof containers/cylinders instead.
---------- Post added at 12:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:37 PM ----------
At the very least, the TUDIA Ultra Tough and the POETIC cases have plugs built in that blocks water from getting into the ports.

I'm really looking for ultimate protection without it being too bulky.
Sent from my ONEPLUS A3000 using Tapatalk

What you're looking for doesn't exist... There's always a trade-off between protection and form factor. My suggestion is just to get a normal case that suits you and keep the phone in a waterproof container when you go kayaking...

Any good quality budget cases in the $8-$12 range?

So I had the Incipio DualPro in black. Costs about $8 on Amazon. It did it's job. I dropped it more than once, but one day awhile ago when I dropped it the corner cracked. Still works great, though.
I'm looking for something similar, preferably that doesn't show fingerprints? Also needs to have a flat back. I also like that's it's harder and not that flexible rubber stuff like the Spigen Rugged Armor appears to be.

This is my favorite case so far:
http://a.co/4AIQhzN

Incipio from Amazon. Sells for $8, I chose used but it was clearly new in box - must have been a return. $5 shipped and is great quality.

I bought the Ringke Air clear case from Amazon for $10, and it is nice. The only issue is that the cutouts are a little "crisp" on the bottom edge, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, except that if you hold the phone with one finger on the bottom edge, the cutout edges can be a little uncomfortable. I'm thinking of either rounding the cutout edges myself, or adding some type of stick-on padding to the bottom edge of the case without blocking the holes.

Very very good cases

Can give a +1 to the Ringke case. Got it today, and is easy to install and remove (which is important if you have more than one battery) and offers great drop/shock protection. Costs around $10.

Give the Ringke Fusion a try. Feels solid, fits well, and looks good. Prices should be around what you have.

First post here and not able to post links but you can find these cases on Amazon. I enjoy having some type of case around my phone. Props to the brave ones that run around case free. I have two for my v20.
My favorite would have to be the Tridea Power Guard Premium carbon fiber design. Nice protection for the camera and face if you have your phone face down. This case is a lot sturdier than the one below but easy to take off if you swap batteries like I do. And if you use some finger nail polish remover and some good time rubbing it off, all the white type on the back can come off. Looks much cleaner with that off.
The Spigen Rugged Armor case is nice too. A lot less firm as the case above. Good protection for the camera and face of the phone as well. I think the Tridea case above offers more space between the camera and surface you put it on though.
Both those cases work well with the Supershieldz tempered glass protector I have on the screen.
