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.
I bought one clearly labeled for the ATT version but it's clearly made for the International version. It's actually a nice case. Probably comparable to the Barely There Case-Mate black matte case.
If anyone wants it, PM me your address and I'll send it to you.
PM on way mate

Nillkin frosted case https://nillkin.org/smartphones-acc...ccessories/nillkin-samsung-galaxy-a50-frosted
I am looking for good quality bumpers for A50. And which type of cover would the experts here recommend, those with opening for holes or those which are fully open around the bottom?
At this moment I recommend Nillkin. Also Nillkin 9H glass protector.
Upload nillkin case photos here if anyone buy that product.

I am using only MOFI Shell bumpers (warious colors, not clear) and i am perfectly satisfied (or a NILLKIN Frosted series). They are so thin and really like some shell (MOFI's thinner).
SPIGEN seems like a pretty fat piece of a rubber.

Ok thanks. But do the nillkin frosted series offer good protection? How would you rate it compared to the spigen case.

Hard to tell. I think Spigen may be little better. Nillkin is thinner and cheaper. I use Nillkin for some time on many phones. If some of them got hard drop, then Nillkin case can break but not the phone - it make sense. So the case took the impact. Phone was never harmed.
Matter of a taste. I don't like "truck rubber" on my phone.
Maybe Nillkin Clear bumer are the best choice for someone who want to make phone backward stay transparent.

I was talking about real photos. I want to see how much screen protection do they provide with their raised lips.
I have bought a transparent one on Amazon, Terrapin, i know it is not a brand, but has average quality, better than those on Aliexpress

Even I'm thinking of buying it.
Check on youtube the review of ringke case on samsung a7, it should be similar for the a50.
Look for Spigen Liquid Crystal on Amazon, the best trasparent TPU case i have seen

It is not available for A50.
There is no case, by spigen, available for A50.

Sorry I thought you are from India.
In India, Spigen has not launched any case yet.
I have the Ringke, great case, but the back cover of the black A50 does not look so hot with the transparent back of the case. I bet it's fine with the other colors. It looks great otherwise, fits nicely and the phone seems well protected. I had slim TPU before (Mumbi) which was okay, nothing special, but I the Ringk feels much more solid, I have no worries the phone would survive a drop.
All the Spigen cases for the A50 are gone from the website, which is pretty strange because like HTCDevil posted, the Liquid Crystal (which wasn't even on the website) is still available from Amazon in Europe, but not the rugged or slim armors (that were on the website before).
I think the A50 is a killer phone and they will sell a ton of them, which might lead to more cases in the future. I'm very happy with the Ringke at the moment, though.

Which type of screenGuard do you have on your phone? Is edge to edge guard compatible with ringke case?
Do you have black colour case or blue one?
Black case, tempered glass, but not edge to edge, just covers the display.
