Just received the Zizo bolt cover case. It looks nice but that is about it. I did a short Youtbe video and left a review on Amazon. I was going to leave it at that but the return/exchange policy was so bad I wanted to share this with you guys. Overall the case feels like cheap plastic. For the price I wasn't expecting much so that was not the reason for my return. The kickstand does not sit flush on my particular case. When the kickstand is closed only one side sits flush. I figured they would send me a prepaid label so I could return it in hopes that the replacement wouldn't have the same issue. The box itself came in a flimsy bag. the bag was intact but the box was torn. just a heads up guys!!!
One thing I want to mention is that I wish companies would make a standard and a premium case. All the 10 to $20 look and feel cheap. I am going to get a real leather case for it but I wish someone would make a rugged case made out of hard rubber/plastic and metal.

Maybe it was one bad case in the bunch. I have been playing with my kickstand to see if it goes in flush all the time and it does. I got the orange one. It is a nice color and case. The screen protector that came with it is pretty good too.
I figured it was just a faulty unit and figured they would have no problem replacing it. They are making new pay for return shipping and for a box to return it in. This is the video I shot to show the issues and the confirmation of the box damage.

I personally think that it is well made. Seems sturdy, and everything works as it should. Plus it looks nice. I don't use the holster, but it seems solid for those who will use it. Also the included tempered glass screen protector is pretty nice

Not well means that mine came out of the box defective. The kickstand does not lay flush with the case on my unit. I did an out the box video review that demonstrated the issue. As with ever product especially first production run there will be more QC issues. I just happened to get a defective until.

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.

Ballistic SG Case for T-Mobile
I just saw it on eBay and it looks like a great case for protection.
Here is the company's site with the standard S2. They haven't added our phones yet to their site.
http://www.goballisticcase.com/products/samsung-galaxy-s2-ballistic-shell-gel-sg-series-case
Just recieved it today. I like the way it looks but it has a couple of drawbacks.
Pros:
1) Pushing the volume or power button is the best I have seen yet for the T-Mobile GS2 cases. Very fluid just like there isnt a case and the buttons make the natural noise that they make just like not using a case.
2) Seems to be the best protection I have seen for the GS2. I think it will handle a drop very easily.
3) I dont have a screen protector but the way this is designed I dont see how this case would cause any issues like the D30 cases do due to a tight fit. Its somewhat loose and should not cause the corners of a screen protector to lift up.
4) Has a great feel to it and adds some weight to the phone.
5) Protects the back camera perfectly.
6) It does add some thickness to the phone but this is because the phone is extra protected. I would say it is about 1.5x to 1.75x as thick as the phone without a case on it.
Cons:
1) The first layer is rubber and due to this fact it has a few issues.
2) Collects lint easily from your pocket.
3) Can be difficult at times to put in and out of your pocket due to the rubber.
By far though this is the best case I have had for a phone. I own a couple of TPU cases for the T-Mobile GS2 and a D30. It makes the D30 look like junk even though the D30 is a great basic case.It has some drawbacks but the pros outweigh the cons. I definitively recommend this case to anyone that wants the ultimate protection for their phone and doesnt mind cleaning the lint off everyonce in a while. If you like my review please give me a thanks.
just saw one too. didnt kno that they started to make them yet. their a little bulky for my line of work. and since im a student im not really in the situations where is need THAT Much protection....but do a review if you get one.
I ordered one. As soon as it comes in I will post pics.

I have to say yes... I'll take measurement tmrw but the corners are thicker than all of it. Its still not bad. Fits in my pocket n like how it feels in my hand ... I like the texture of back compared to the d3o.
To be fair, the rubber corners will pick up lint just like vibrant otter box. This thing is maximum protection...

Thanks, got one on order. This will be my 4th and hopefully final case for this phone, I am a fan of otterbox so I think I will like it. I started with the black bodyglove from tmobile, not a bad case but a pain in the ass to take of so I got one of the clear TPU cases from ebay and its a great case. And then the D30 came out so I exchanged the bodyglove for it, had to take it back because it fit like crap, the next one fit 95% better but is still uneven around the edges and for a $25.00 piece of rubber it should be perfect like the $7.00 one from ebay.
The first D30 that I got was from T-Mobile. That one fit perfectly, just didn't like the way how the button press felt. So then I also got a TPU case from eBay. Next thing T-Mobile gave out the cases so I picked it up, returned the original one I bought at T-Mobile store, but then the one I got from T-Mobile online, it fit 95% and was bubbling up my Realook. I was hoping for a Seidio case to come first but since I've heard good things about Ballistic case, I gave it a shot. Waiting for it to come in the mail now.

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

Don't forget that orders from China can take a long time around new year, and...

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.

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 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.

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".

Double Dip Flip Case Review
A lot of people overlooked the fact that the cover does come down over time. If you don't wanna wait you can just put the phone face down overnight.
Double Dip Hard Shell Review
Nice case but you could easily scratch your phone taking the One in and out of the case.
I'll be picking up an HTC One once it hits the USA so I'll do another more indepth review once I get it. Importing is just way too expensive...
I got the flip case free with my phone. It seems like the cover joints just needs a bit of loosening over time. Mine closes almost instantly now.
That being said I don't feel like it offers the best possible protection. Got my eyes open for a better case.
Thanks for the review ... :good:
suppose i´ll pick one up ...
THX :good:
The flip case looks great and the cover does come down over time, mine happened in about 2 days. The only problem i have with the case is that it doesnt offer full protection and during calls i have to occasiaonnly take the phone out of the case as the Mic hole doesn't line up with the phones Mic hole 100% :l
WARNING
I dropped my phone that was housed in the double dip case, the flap came open and landed face down resulting to scratches and dents to the speaker housing, gutted
I have both the hard shell case and the double dip case. I think they are both good cases, the double dip flip case doesn't really protect the full phone but is good for its stand. The hard shell case is a bit bulky and the colours are crap (why not one solid colour?) but it really gives complete protection... Other than the screen, which is ok because I think the lip is big enough to protect it from a drop...
I've ordered the flip case with the HTC free offer, but I feel like I won't be using it for long. I'll be looking for a better case while using the flip case as a temporary solution. I guess it would be very useful in the plane.
You should try reviewing accessories with a REAL phone next time...

Are you going to import it from Europe for him? If that's what you're offering, I'll review any case you want.

Thanks for backing me up bro. Also, to the OP: I'm going to be picking one up from VZW if it comes out. If not, I'll maybe use a TMo Prepaid plan with it.
I had the Flip case, but I got a refund on it as i didn't feel it protected the phone without being a hindrance. Also, nobody could hear me due to the microphone not lining up all the time. As it cost me £25 I felt it was not justified. I am going today to purchase the normal double dip case to try (non flip).
Wish me luck!

So is the consensus to keep this thing a safe distance from the phone at all times? I'm glad mine won't be costing me anything. I guess I should thank HTC, sort of?
This clearly not for drop protection, its too think in the back and little protection in the front. Not sure if that case is for me.

You may just wanna pick up a generic TPU or maybe something nicer from Diztronic or Cruzerlite. The i-Blason cases look high quality compared to their previous cases, but I'm not sure.
Why they didn't felt line thus case its beyond me. It slides onto an aluminum phone... Hard plastic... GREAT IDEA

Did anybody order the double dip hard shell from amazon. I seen a couple sellers from the uk it says it'll be shipped 18-26 days but when i put it in my cart it says i should receive it april 15. I just dont want to order it and dont get it until after the phone comes out. I also noticed a couple sellers from ny on amazon but i wasnt sure if the case was official or not. I dont see why it wouldnt be official tho since the case just came out.

I got mine here, delivered after one day but it had a dodgy moulding on the back piece, I emailed and they sent another one the next day.
