[Q] How bad/good is the screen protector provided with case mate tough case.

Wondering if I should put a realook on order right now or just use the one provided? feedback please.

I ordered the Barely-There case, and since it's made by the same company I assume the SPs are the same.
I really, dislike mine. The screen protector was very hard to swipe without getting my finger stuck. It get's dirty, and smudgy. Plus, the SP is for the international Galaxy S, meaning they're unnecessary holes at the buttom.
I wouldn't recommend putting them on, because they're terrible.
Order the Realook now, because you will be much happier.

order it now! I have one on my vibrant, my son's ipod touch and my wife's iphone. The only flaw in my opinion is the fingerprints, but that can easily be fixed with a quick wipe from your shirt.

Go for the realook. You will not be disappointed.

Got my TC a few weeks ago, and was really looking forward to replacing the T-Mobile SP that I got for free the day I received the phone. I know what I had on it sucked, and like Sam V said, I was disappointed when the SP was not for the US market.
Instead I ordered the realook and I am frankly stunned by the improvement. Never having the opportunity to use it without a SP, I did not know what I was missing. So yeah, be like everyone else and get the TC and RL. Although I have never seen it posted here yet, I have been a lurker for sometime, buy a couple of two packs since there is a good chance of messing of the first try. If you have not done a SP before that is. I am glad I tried the 2nd one myself instead of going to the local T-Mobile looking like a noob ass, it went on fine.

[Q] Screen Protector Questions

Hi everyone,
I'm going to be getting an SGSII, and I'm not sure whether to get a screen protector or not.
I think I will (better safe than sorry), but I'm really confused as to all the choice.
There are cheapo ones off ebay, and there are $30 ones from Zagg, and a crapload in between!
What are all the different ones out there? What's different about them? What are their pros and cons?
How easy are they to put on?
How much do they actually protect?
How much do they cost?
How do they feel?
How do they look?
How do they affect the touchscreen?
How am I supposed to know which to chose, if at all?
Please don't just say a brand and that you recommend it, tell me why.
Thank you,
Amando.

I wont be getting one my galaxy s hasn't got a single mark after a year of use. Ive applies many screen protectors in the past to other devices and I've never been able to apply one perfectly (tiny spec of dust/ slightly missaligned etc)
This phone doesn't need one. I would get a case though

That's a thread addressing whether it needs one or not, none of the questions I've asked are really properly answered in that thread...

I'm not sure whether I want one or not... I can see your point, but there's always the 'just in case' nagging feeling... I'm a student and I live away from home. I shouldn't really even be buying the phone, but I want it and i *can* afford it, at a sacrifice for a few weeks. So I just want to make sure it is worth it.

I like zagg a lot, great protection and gives it some grip.... better safe then sorry is always the best method.... putting it on can be a pain... you really cannot go wrong.... it is to protect the screen and does not affect anything IMO

I actually always found the Zagg ones to be really fiddly to put on and overpriced. On my old phone I went with a cheap screen protector. I just needed to protect it from the possibility of my headphones scratching it in my pocket but that's about it.
It all depends on the amount of protection you think you need. If you're gonna be gental with it then the cheap-o ones will do the job and they're easier to apply.

Ive ordered a xtremeguard until something better comes out. But they got good reviews online. You have to install with a little water though.

Credit/ID card holder case

Anybody seen something like this for the Vibrant?
Like this:
http://www.case-mate.com/Google-Nexus-One-Cases/Case-Mate-Google-Nexus-One-ID-Credit-Card-Cases.asp

i havent seen one
i saw one for the iphone in a rolling stone magazine and ive been looking ever since

No. That is sweet though. I want one!

Yeah. The SGS variants all sold a bunch, you'd think they'd have made this case for such a popular phone. It's the only kind of case I'd put on my phone.

I couldn't find any, anyone else have better luck?

Its not the same, but I have the black case that was sold on launch, pretty sure they still sell them at T-Mo... I just put my debit card inside it and it works pretty solid. Not ideal, but it works.

[Q] Cases w/ ID Card Holder

Anyone know of any cases with Credit Card or ID Card Holder ??? I found some made by Case Mate but it's only for iPhone 3G/3GS/4.
Thanks in advance for any assistance on this.

I've been looking for one for any phone other than the iPhone for months and I haven't been able to find anything. I even emailed case mate about it and they never responded.

maybe does not look as good but....

I finally found something worth getting. I just ordered one. Also work on just about any phone.
Since I can't post links I will direct everyone on how to get there.
Go to Amazon and search for Sinji Pouch

This is all I can find. its not for our galaxy S2 though. its meant for the international version
edit: I didnt look close enough at the it. I guess the "case" is a just a sticker so in theory it should still work?

I have that pouch. The part of the phone at the bottom that curves up makes it so when you put the pouch on... It's not flat.. So the end doesn't stick down well. However, it works for me until they release a good looking case with an ID holder... Hopefully something like the twelve south iphone case. Here's a pic that sorta shows you what I'm talking about

Good wallet/diary style case?

I'm looking for a good book/diary/wallet style case for my new T-Mobile Galaxy SII. Something like the BookBook case for the iPhone:
http://twelvesouth.com/products/bookbook_iphone/
or this case for the international Galaxy SII:
http://www.bizwinkorea.com/tablet-p...ine-leather-diary-wallet-type-case-cover.html
I'd kinda want it to look like a leatherbound book, but that's not as important as it actually being leather. I do want it to have pockets opposite where the phone sits to hold money, cards, etc.
Anyone seen anything like this?

None? Nobody's seen anything like this?

Honestly bro I looked high and low for a case like this and it just isn't out yet. There's an OEM product called "Samsung d30 t989 leather slip cover" coming out sometime in the next few months that can be found with Google if you search the quoted phrase. The one case I found like what your asking turned out to be an incompetent eBay seller labeling **** for the international gs2 like it would work for ours.

eeeewwwwww.......
i don't like those cases, yes, they have their good uses, but... not my type
i can see many scenario and situation when & where i might want to use one, but it's not worth the cost
just search for something similar, you don't need an exact fit for those type of cases, look for another phone with similar size spec, and find it

any updates on this case?

bump for great justice. i really like the twelve south case

I've been looking at this
http://www.pdair.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=34089

just ordered it few days ago waiting for it to show up
---------- Post added at 10:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:26 AM ----------
dont buy for talkietech or wirless age or something like that, they both dicked me around for two weeks and told me not in stock, there is a guy on ebay from hong kong that has stich color options for pd case, but i got the original from the website above

I ordered a "black Napa leather case" off Amazon. Nice quality but so thick it could hold 2 sgs2's and way too wide. Clearly not made for our phone.

http://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0075/8682/t/1/assets/phonefoldgrey-full07.jpg?111878
This case is exactly what I want but it's only for iPhone and the measurements don't match.... our phones are too wide

I've been searching for the same thing. I found this one and I really like it. Although the camera and speaker holes are wrong. Might get it and try it out anyway..

I actually might have found it on ebay.

The picture shows an iPhone but the description says it's for a galaxy s2. It's a bit on the pricey end and I'm not sure about the quality since it's not a genuine Twelve South. But they sold 12 of these so far without negative feedback.
EDIT: New link since the other one ended: ebay.com/itm/Twelve-South-BookBook-Style-Leather-Case-Wallet-Samsung-Galaxy-S2-/200706984428?_trksid=p4340.m444&_trkparms=algo%3DCRX%26its%3DC%252BS%26itu%3DSI%252BUA%252BLM%252BLA%26otn%3D5%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D5992036502526272942#ht_571wt_1348

I guess, given that there's no hole on the back for camera or speakers, it should work just fine. I don't know how much different our phone is from the original GS2.
Still, at $40, I guess I'd like to hear from someone who has my phone and has bought the case.

I emailed the seller and asked for some pics of the actual item. I'm sure it's an i9100, but here ya go. Looks nice none the less. I may pick one up.

I axially bought one of these and I really like it. It doesn't line up with the holes for the touch buttons perfectly, but my x-acto took care of that easily. Seems to be pretty good quality. I've been using it for about a month.
