[HardCase] Mini Cooper Vintage UK Flag for GSII

Hi all!
Just want to share something good: CG Mobile in collaboration with Mini has released a collection of case for our Galaxy SII and they are quite stylish!
You have 2 with the Mini's bands, and one with the UK Flag
The case is not what we call "high quality" like the others in steel, but they are slim, hard case, and easy to remove and use
I bought the one with the UK Flag, the colors are good: real red and white and matted black...let's see if the colors will stay!
They are light and really not that big (but you feel a difference in your hands ^^)
No silicone anywhere, just soft touched's plastic
The side effect is, if you have the official dock from Samsung (this one), you'll be unable to use it, like a large majority of case
I can't send you a link, just search in google, the price is about 19€
Enjoy

I work for a group of BMW/MINI dealerships..my company car is a MINI...this case is perfect.
Ordered from Amazon.

Now that is nice. Pre order at the moment though.
The one in the OP is £16.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA

The leather one with union jack stitching is very nice, will have to add it to a wishlist on amazon for the next time my current case breaks

[Q] Galaxy Nexus Workout Armband Case?

Hey guys, eager to use my Nexus while I workout. Has anyone found an armband type of thing for this phone? It doesn't necessarily have to fit like a glove, but just something that won't cause the phone to fall out. Thanks!

I dont think there is one for the Gnex
I tried to fit my Gnex in an iphone model and it doesnt fit.

Damn, was hoping there would be one out there somewhere.

I bought one from ebay, hasn't arrived yet.
It was stated that it would fit GN perfectly.

[Q] Magnetic macro/fish-eye lenses... will they fit?

Update:
YES. They fit. See my follow-up post below for two example shots.
Original:
I love taking photos. Which is why I'm so glad we all get to carry cameras in our pockets these days.
I stumbled across these things: http://photojojo.com/store/awesomeness/cell-phone-lenses/
They're extra lens attachments for smartphones, and they go on via an adhesive magnetic ring that sits around the phone lens. I'd love to give them a whirl but... the bump.
I'm not sure they'd actually stay on because of the camera bump. So, does anyone have them? Does anyone know if they'll work?

Just sent the seller an E-Mail, I'll let you know once I've got a reply.

If anything the rubberband lens will fit, that is an awesome idea!

Yeah that thing is cool, it just doesn't seem like the results would be on par. Still, maybe as a back-up plan!

Actually, I've had insane results with a DVD burner lens and my old SE W910 ... I could see this working pretty well.
But if you're using the words "on par" you probably have some needs for quality, while I'm just mucking around with it so don't really care as long as it's functional and looks cool.

That's a pretty cool hack, GriffinSauce. Wouldn't mind seeing the results!
For the rest of you that were curious, I found a cheaper seller on eBay (about $20 AUD) and took the plunge.
I'm pleased to announce that they fit.
First shots below.
I'm a little concerned that the stick on magnetic ring that holds the lenses on will come off in my pocket, but it came with three extras. We'll see how it goes.

Just bought this on eBay. Can't wait to use it !

What do you guys think about this case?

Actually I just ordered on from Amazon last night. I like the S curve on the back and that type of soft flexible case. Would think it would hold up better if you dropped phone, but don't know this for sure.

It surely would! I have had this case for many other devices and because it wraps around the screen it protects the actual screen from coming into contact which reduces the chance of shattering the screen. Great case for a low price!

I bought the clear (transparant) one, it's easily get dirty, and it seems i can't make it clean,
It's good for its price, but maybe it's better to pick the colored ones

I guess anything like white or transparent will get dirty quick

mine looks different to the one in the op/video...bought off eBay (Australian seller, as I live in Australia) - as you can see the camera cutout is different.

Interesting, thanks!

Toast is the other option, and is real wood.

I see on Toast you have to use the Skin with the name exposed 'TOAST' on the bottom.
But its more customization and much more options than the DBRAND.
I receive now my DBRAND skin, and It fits with perfection and are really good quality, the wood seens to be real because the skin of 3M have details in high relief. Very good company.
I will buy one in Toast too.

Oh nice! How difficult is it to pop the old back out and put one of these in? I've been curious about the wood since they launched it after I got mine.
They're not too inexpensive though, wonder if it's worth it or if I should just wait I replace with 2015 Moto X (skipping the 2014).

I bought one from this ebay seller:

Arrived a few days ago and it's legit, looks great. Will be putting it on this weekend. Instructions and tools available here:
