Hi Guys,
I need a new case for my SGS2 (with 2000mAh battery). I had the Rearth Ringke, it didn't last long (the coating went off after 4 months). Very disappointing.
Looking for something better that will last longer, made of silicone and slim.
Any recommendation ?
Thanks!
SGP ultra silke
Don't know what you classify as "slim", but http://www.pocketables.net/2012/03/...-tpu-case-for-samsung-galaxy-s-ii-review.html
I ordered the SGP ultra silke and the Case Mate SafeSkin (a bit thicker than the SGP and the Rearth). I think that the SGP is exactly the same as the Rearth, I hope it isn't (I don't want to replace it after 4 month again).
Thanks all.

I +1 this
Have it on my phone, its Slim and nice, I have had it on since the phone was released.
Same case, no problems.
Do take it off from time to time and holding the phone feels sexy
With any case its going to size to the phone, but this is my personal preference.
I've bought the samsung official one in silicon(go amazon), no so slim but very resistant . I'm using it for almost 6 month and it still look new ! It fits perfectly with the 2000mah battery and cover !
Or if you want you can buy an invisible shield for your GS2 , but it's not a case, it's like a screen protector but all around your phone. (but i used to remenber that it's relatively expensive , around 30$ /w shipping) ...
Hope it helps !
Please excuse my bad english..
By "slim" I meant like the cheap Chinese case from the link above. I have this case, using it now and don't like it at all (the hard buttons are hard to press and it doesn't have hit absorbing material, like the more expensive silicone cases).

I have four bookmarks for threads devoted SOLELY to this question! Did you bother to search at least once? Come on moderators get on the ball
^ Please show me ONE link to a subject on the forum that contain all my needs (Slim+Silicone+2000mAh+lasting more than a few months). If you can't, stop spamming the thread.

There are forums which discuss the same issues that you have and i have seen a few, however I do admit freely that its difficult to search for them. You can take my word for it though that it has been discussed before, as i too have a SGP Ultra Silke Soul Black case and i have the extended 2000mAh battery.
And the SGP Fits perfectly! So dont worry!
Just wondering whether a trident kraken would fit with a sgp curved crystal?
As I live in the UK, both will take some considerate amount of time to arrive here, so to avoid disappointment could someone with the above combination let me know if it will work or not?
Will the screen protector not lift, given that the silicon soft-cover would just sit above the screen protector?

I am using a Ghost Armor Screen protector on my SGSIII(AT&T) with my Kraken AMS and it works GREAT. My Kraken did not come with a built in screen protector, but Trident did send a screen protector with the set
I too, would like to know if the curved crystal works with the Kraken (which I already have). It's currently on backorder on Spigen's website and I would hate to wait 2 weeks to find out that it lifts/bubbles with the Kraken on!! I have to replace my Skinomi skin which is totally uncompatible with my stylus...

I just read a post earlier that their Glas.t is coming out and I might just wait for that. Loved it on my Note (still have it but need to sell it =/)
I'm sure the Glas.t won't be compatible with a lot of cases like the Kraken because it does add some thickness to the phone

Can you link me to the comment about the glas t please? I just received the curved crystal today :S
I'm the one that posted about the Glas.t in another thread. I emailed spigen asking if they were going to make one for the galaxy s3. They replied:
Dear Jeromy,
Thank you for contacting SPIGEN.com Customer Service Department.
Hi, my name is __________ from SPIGEN.com.
Actually yes we are getting ready for the GLAS.t for the Galaxy S3!
Please check back at our site at the end of August or begginning of Septemeber to see more information!
If you have any additional questions, please do not hesitate to contact us again.
Thank you.

I just ordered my Trident Kraken on amazon so I'll let you guys know as soon as I receive mine and post some photos of how the curved crystal does with my new case ^___^ i'll also be receiving my Aduro Shell Holster Combo case so if anyone is interested in that as well, let me know~

Oh thank you, i cant wait for your reply about the kraken.
I just installed my curved crystal and it works perfectly with this (i got the green one):
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HARD-HYBR...LAXY-S3-I9300-FREE-SCREEN-GUARD-/400303192723
Others reported the silicone cover would cause the protector to lift, but it seems to be fine on mine (the install went quite well). Though just to let you guys know, the protector tends to scratch easily, even with a micro fibre cloth. A bit surprising even though I was aware of the 2H hardness rating.

Anyone know if any leather belt clip holsters will fit with this bumper?
I've had my SPIGEN tempered glass on for a few weeks now and I must say its pretty irritating because of all the dust on the sides of the glass protector itself.

nice review. this is only my personal opinion, but i feel like this expensive bumper doesnt provide much protection other than making the s3 look a lil different.
anyways.
LMAO @ your nail comment. literally, laughed out loud.
HE"S A HONEY BADGER, HE DOESN"T GIVE A F*** ABOUT WHAT YOU THINK OF HIS NAILS.
:highfive:
Nice review! Looks pretty solid, but I'm wondering if you have dropped it yet. If you have, has there been any noticeable damage on the bumper?

Hello,
Thank you for contacting Spigen SGP, my name is Da.
I asked the Product Development division at Spigen and they have some ideas for what they will be doing, but not too sure what exactly they will be.
Most likely they will make some type of GLAS product as well as the Steinheil screen protectors and cases/skins for the Z1.
Hope that answers your questions, follow us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/SpigenWorld and Twitter @spigenWorld to hear about new products when they come out!

I just got this reply from them, so I'm not optimistic:

I Hate to dampen your spirit, but even if they do make a screen protector for your phone, unless you have a protector to protect the edges of the screen protector, it will not last you very long because the screen on the Xperia Z1 is too elevated, making any screen protector exposed to corner impacts.
I had their slim product with the Xperia Z and my screen protector cracked from a corner because the protector was too exposed/high, it lasted 1 week before it was stuffed.

When I did the research about all available Tempered Glass Protectors for Z1 for my thread (I highly suggest to check it out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2519604), I was able to find Spigen GLAS.t R Slim. The weird part is that it is available only in Japan.

Why go for this spigen instead of the Nilkin ?
Please discuss here the accessories(screenguards/ cases/ headphones etc) available for one in India.
Or which accessories you r using and what ur view regarding that accessory.
Only few original oneplus accessories r available on amazon. Where did u buy ur accessory from?
It will be very helpful for members like me who r planning to buy the One..
Please advise me which screenguard should i buy,( please give link also, if possible)

Hey man, i ordered tempered glass from ebay few days back
http://www.ebay.in/itm/261691222642?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
this is the link, but i think it went out of stock, heard good things about Nillkin.
I bought the original screen protector from amazon. Its great and doesnt hinder the feel or performance.
getting a case and screen guard is proving to be a pain, esp. with the prices on ebay increasing with every passing day.. managed to get a nilkin case, yet to be delivered though..getting a screen guard along with it, i guess ill stick with it till the time some good tempered glass is available again..

Ringke Fusion Smoke Black Case
Got Ringke Fusion case today.
Fit is snug & buttons are easy to operate.
Lip over the screen is decent enough to place it upside down.
Best case out there IMO
Package contents: Case, 1 Screen guard & 1 cutout for custom back design.
Let the pics do the talking
PS: Ordered it off the ebay.in, pm me if you need seller details.
I have had a miserable experience that others in this forum might want to avoid... I ordered an ultra tpu,dizztronic from eBay India on the 4th of this month that cart2india supposedly delivered yesterday the 18th. When I opened the envelope, to my utter horror and shock I found a tpu case meant for HTC1 that obviously cannot be used on the opo.I have raised a claim for refund and don't know how long it might take. I am posting here so that all concerned would take care.

It can survive falls & accidental drops. It adds bulk to the top & bottom of the phone, sides are pretty slim... Makes One feel little like a Xperia IMO
