Super Slim Cases - Galaxy S II Accessories

Just stumbled accross this over at Amazon/Play.
Imperial Hard Case Super Slim Black
Looks like a decent enough case, protects the back mainly, and looks very thin

STK Samsung Galaxy S2 i9100 TPU Case / Black
Not sure about this one, resembles the Neo Hybrid in a way, just doesn't have sperate layers.
http://www.play.com/Mobiles/Mobile/4-/23551468/-/Product.html

Think im gunna take a gamble on the Italk one. Thin around the back, has holes in all the correct places. Looks like ir protects the phone when its turned over.
For £4.96 you can't go wrong really!

It's hard to tell from the photos whether it really does protect the front of the phone (when you place it face down). I'd be interested in what you find!

Yeah, i know what you mean. To be fair. I nver plce my phone screen way down anyway!

Came this morning, Looks promising.
Will upload pics etc in few hours

First impressions are its very nice and slim!
Cant hardly tell its there!
Pros
Slim
Feels nice
Doesn't look cheap
Gives sight screen potection (I mean slight, 1mm tops)
Cons
Doesn't give much protection to Camera
Buttons on side could irritate some people.
To be fair, i wanted a slim case, which this is. I dont intend to launch my phone around, i always place it down back first.
Ill try and add some pics of the phone in the case soon.

Shots of the phone in the case.
I apologise in advance, The worst digital camera i've ever seen used in my life!
Gives you a rough idea, if your sat here now thinking, should I, Shouldn't I buy one. Go ahead and do it! You won't be dissapointed for £4.95

Also available on eBay for about £3

Feels rather weird having this case on, been use to thickness and the lip over on the Neo Hybrid!

How's the grip with this case?

Yeah, its alright, feels nice in the hand.
Honestly its a really nice case for £4.95, or £3 on ebay.
You wont be dissapointed!

Do you have the link to the ebay one?

Im also going to try one of the following; http://www.obostore.com/nillkin-rainbow-silicone-soft-case-skin-for-samsung-galaxy-s2-p-1397.html

Do you think the phone would fit in a desktop dock with this case fitted?
Cheers

Probably.
Really is sllim, Like it says on the ebay link 0.3mm thick.

Excellent, I'll wait for the case to arrive, then have a look round for a dock that will fit.
Please let us know how the obostore case compares, I'm a big fan of decent phones cases and will inevitably try out a few.
Thanks

Seidio Innocase NOW SHIPPING!!

I just received an email from Seidio newsletter today, the Innocase for the Samsung Captivate is NOW SHIPPING!!!
seidioonline.com/category-s/4407.htm
Just placed my order!
Nice, 2 weeks after I just got my BodyGlove Mirage case. I was actually looking at this one too but wasn't sure how long it would be before they were available.
Please post your thoughts on your case when you get it (pics if possible). I'd like to know how the case fits and feels. I think it's a 2 piece (bottom and top) slip-on rather than a front and back snap together according to the pictures on their site.
It looks very similar to the OEM Samsung Carbon Fiber case which turned out to be not so good so I returned it.
Thanks!
definitely contemplating this. Been reading so-so reviews on the amzer case.
Received the same notification. Had one of these for my HTC Fuze and have been waiting patiently for this release. Ordered one as well.

i placed my order today as well, hopefully will be in soon. i'll be trying to sell my body glove case now, never really liked it that much.
I'm just glad to see they will be offering a range of colors. I'm going to hold out for the Amethyst.

I just got mine today and i must say i love it...
Anyone care to post pics?
Any feedback on this case?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
I just got mine today and it is awesome.
I have
the clear snap on case - no gaps but is super hard to get off and feels very molded and cheap. The finish is very smooth / slippery plastic. But overall protects well.
Samsung snap on case - Much easier to remove, and has small gaps where the case snaps together. The finish is a nice velvet checkerboard. The finish is a little rough around the edges the way it was applied / could be better.
Slip in hardcase w/ optional Beltclip - Protects the screen and has an optional snap on belt clip. The phone does not slide completely into the case there is about 1/2 inch of the phone sticking out. Overall okay quality.
This Seido case - Precision made, great finish looks perfect. By far the best of all of them.

Can you please post a few pics...
Yeah I will try to get a hold of my brothers camera, or my other brothers captivate to get some pictures.
I took a bunch of pics with my bros camera. The first ones suck because I took them and didn't know he had some weird settings on it. Some of the later ones are better.
http://www.thevod.org/misc/captivate/100OLYMP/
All the pics wont be done uploading until about 30 mins from now. Also there is a video in there. And it was made with the wicked bad settings. Not sure what mode he had it in but it is a little yellow.
Thank you for the pictures and fast response! Did you also get the belt clip with that case?

Looks like the buttons would be hard to press? Mainly looking at the power/sleep button. Any issues with being able to press it?? Def interested in getting this. Have a Amzer case and it is an Ok case, and i know it is going to be some time before we get a case from Otterbox.

Thank you very much for all the pictures!!! I want this case but its a lot of money for a case imo. My co worker got a case and clip combo like this one for his droid x for $30! which makes me not want to pay $50 for this lol.
Anyway it looks like a really really nice case. I'm sure I will break down and buy this lol
THANK YOU AGAIN!!!

nice
does it come in black/red?
and once you get this case,how do you carry around?
i need a holster
it comes in black/black, and black pink..
No holster, just stuff it in your pocket...
its not as gigantic as their HC cases are; those you can drop from a rooftop and the phone won't crack...
this one should survive any drop from 7 feet or less...they have a video of them testing it on the webpage listed above..

its about 10 times more protective than any tpu case..
its bigger and bulkier, so, if you don't want that, then don't get one...
Nice find. Thanks. Will be ordering one.
Sent from my GT-P7510
looks like it adds extra grip on the phone but kinda makes the phone look a little bulky imo.
looks good!!
has anyone received theirs yet?
I ordered mine first day, but, I am in chicago, so its probably a couple more days
Anyone know if/when they are going to have the HC case? Had one for my Evo, and I would love to have one for the E4GT.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk
they told me awhile ago that they were, but some have reported that they were told they were not...
I'd prefer the HC case as well, but, something is better than nothing...
That looks nice. I'll have to get that. The phone is actually too light for me.
I had the G2 before and that was pretty heavy. I think I'll have to pick one of these up.
Hmm... I need to go thank the OP.
Holy Cr$P!!
This thing is awesome.
It puts the case mate tough to shame!!!!
I retruned the case mate and got this.
Extremely happy!!!
WEEEEE
yea, this is the toughest case out, for now, for this phone..
Hoping the ballistic hc comes out for this, so I can feel 100 confident that the phone is protected..

What is the diff. between SG and HC? is the HC phone/polycarbonate/silicon?
It's quiet comforting knowing my phone will no longer be at risk.
I've already done a 7 ft. drop test with it and am impressed.
I like how the feel is on the power button and volume as well (much easier to press than on the TPU case.

Here is what the hc cases are all about..
http://www.goballisticcase.com/products/iphone-4-4s-ballistic-hc-series-case
I dont understand why so many people like the TPU cases; the're just a cheap piece of vinyl, and do nothing to protect your phone from a drop on a hard surface, like concrete..they are super cheap, I guess, considering there is only a few pennies in vinyl to make them, so maybe its the price that makes them so attractive..

For me it was keeping the camera from scratching while on a table... It protected that.
Also, it kept the phone from having direct contact with surfaces (to avoid scratch)... yah it would probably break if dropped, but if you rubbed up on a hard surface, at least the phone wouldn't scratch
We just got the all black ones in store today

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

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

Galaxy Note Flip Cover

I really hope there's any good version of this great case type!
Hope for your numerous answers!

At least those give a bit of protection to the back of the phone and corners.

Hi,
thanks for your answers!
Yes, these flip covers look good, but the original one has a must have feature for me: It replaces the battery cover so it doesn't make the phone thicker and keeps its great look and feel.
I suppose there's no battery cover replacement flip cover in good quality anywhere out there?

OK, I don't take responsibility for this as I still don't recommend those type of cases (less material, less protection ) but on the picture it looks like what you are looking for. It says it's aluminum so should be better it terms of durability, but I don't know if it won't reduce your signal strength a bit.

It doesn't look like PU leather, more like some kind of carbon/textile. That seems to be awesome!
Now I just have to think about if I take this one or the one suggested in the kick stand thread. Great!

P.S.: I don't like big cases like silicone bumpers or bags or something like this. I just trust in my ability to handle my phone without letting it fall to the ground. That worked with other phones for years, so I take the risk.

Yup, the one from Anymode looks really nice. But you will probably have to wait a few days or maybe weeks until it's available outside Korea (or you can try buy it from their website, I don't speak Korean so I can't help you with that). And it won't be cheap as I suppose it won't be less than $50-$60 without shipping.

But this case actually makes the phone a few millimeters thicker, so you should think again what's your priority. High quality looks or phone slimness.
Oh no, that's too expensive for me. Not bad at all, so my decission was easy!
I just ordered the Flipcover that you suggested for 20$. I hope I will receive it in May and give feedback after I got it!

Yes there is. Check out Amazon uk. Samsung have a lizard leather flip case. Much stronger than original flip. I have had it for approaching a month now and no sign of wear. At it is thicker than original, it takes a little bit more pressing down on the back to secure it. But once it is on, it does the job of protection, looks stylish and professional. I have photos of it in the 'post your case' thread if u r interested
Holy moly, in my opinion that "lizard"-style leather is ugly!
Thanks for your answer, everybody who loves this leather style will love this case too! But that's nothing for my sense of style.
If they produced this flipcase with "normal smooth" leather...
Anyways, I'm waiting for my blue flip case from Hongkong which is already on its way to me. Hopefully that's good quality, than it's perfect for me.

Wow, it just arrived. Unbelievable fast, I thought I would be very lucky if I get it next Friday.
My first thoughts are very positive: It fits perfect and feeld high quality.
The Flip gives a good protection, it's very strong. The battery cover is a bit thicker than the original one, so it protects the camera lense but doesn't make the phone bulky.
Two little disadvantages: It smells quite bad, but I believe in a week the stink is gone. And the back is very smooth, even a bit slippery. The plastic texture of the original had more grip, but it the aluminium looks simply great. So that's ok.
I'm very happy with it!

Congrats on your case!
I am not sure if the seller is trust worthy either, but does anyone know if the
Anymode Case Galaxy Note Stand Folio Case Series from ExportPrive would work on the SGH-I717 or is it just for the International Note?
Edit:
Also Found it on Amzon for $85
Edit 2:
Ater some google-fu on the case and exportprive, I went ahead and ordered it. Apparently the case is made for the Japanese model of the Galaxy Note, so it does have the NFC antenna on the battery cover of the case (I have the SGH-i717) . The only foreseeable downfall I see is that it doesn't snap on properly, that would hurt. But for $63 including shipping, I say it is worth the risk considering I fell in love with the anymode case at&t sells, but thought it was to pricey for a brick&motor store to sell. Now I will get a kick stand plus earpiece cut out! Will update when I receive it.
"Genuine" Samsung flip cover
Hello Friends.
I intend on purchasing a genuine Samsung flip cover (white) for my Galaxy Note (ceramic white).
I had a look on Amazon UK and for illustrative purpose I have posted the link below.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-Fli...D4TM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1338410191&sr=8-1
The product is Samsung Flip Cover for Galaxy Note - Blue by Samsung. Considering it has by Samsung displayed on the link, is it safe to presume it is a genuine Samsung product?
I ask the above because the Samsung UK website does not have any cases/covers listed under the Accessories category.
http://www.samsung.com/uk/consumer/mobile-devices/mobile-phones/accessories
@Aryana90 do you mind posting some pics of the cover on your phone? Is it a replacement back cover, like the "genuine" cover?
The genuine cover (in YLNdroid's post) is a lovely fit, but probably isn't great for long term use, a lot of people complain that it wears out quickly. But it only adds about 1.5mm to the phone, so that's very attractive.
V
Yes, it is a replacement back cover. I think it adds not more to the phone than the original cover, but seems to be better quality. And looks amazing in blue!
I try to make some pictures this evening and will post it here.

Aryana90, is the said cover you purchased as good as the "genuine" one? Does it have Galaxy Note inscribed on the front and Samsung inscribed on the rear?
If so, where can I get one in white colour? I have a ceramic white Galaxy Note.
I apologise for sounding a bit too paranoid perhaps! With all due respect, I do not want a sub-standard case/cover for my Galaxy Note.

Has anyone bought cases by Rock?

Hey guys!
I came across a few TPU cases by Rock.. Flip and back-only. Anyone heard of or used them? Couldn't find any reviews for the case.. I'm not sure about the TPU quality and transparency of the back (for the flip one). Check them out, heres the link:
Flip: http://www.rockphone.cn/en/Html/Product/507.html#next
Back only: http://www.rockphone.cn/en/Html/Product/517.html#next

I bought this one ( search ROCK big city Brand New Leather Folio Case Cover Pouch For HTC One M7
in ebay) in navy, turned out to be a bit too shiny/shimmery for me. If your interested I can sell it to you from UK, unused with retail packaging.

I came across a few TPU cases by Rock.. Flip and back-only. Anyone heard of or used them? Couldn't find any reviews for the case.. I'm not sure about the TPU quality and transparency of the back (for the flip one). Check them out, heres the link:

I think this one is the best looking one ive seen so far. Might have to place an order for an orange one
i purches both of them, i loved the rock cases on my hox and my S3.
the back only cover arrieved yesterday. great looking, good feeling and perfect match. just a few rather sharp edges, which i removed with my nails.
i got a grey cover for my silver one, looks really great.
i am waiting for the black flip cover . it did not arrieved so far

I bought this one ( search ROCK big city Brand New Leather Folio Case Cover Pouch For HTC One M7
in ebay) in navy, turned out to be a bit too shiny/shimmery for me. If your interested I can sell it to you from UK, unused with retail packaging.

Thanks for your offer, but I'm thinking about the yellow one. Haven't really decided about it yet.

If you do get one, please post a quick review and let others know how the cases actually feel!

Good to know! Two questions for you -
1. Is the TPU flexible? If so, is it like completely flexible or just a little?
2. Is the case too shiny? Like candy colours (think: Nokia Lumia)?

1. its rather hard, looks not like TPU, hard plastic would i say, but still flex enoth to fit it
2. the grey one is not that shiny, matt i would say
I ordered the black one, and it just arrived today. Bit of a shame I don't have a phone to put in it, because it looks great. It is glossy, but not overboard. Maybe similar to the gloss on the original PS3? But don't quote me on that, I only owned the slim.
My One should arrive tomorrow. Once it does, I'll post up some pictures so you guys can check it out.
As far as Rock cases go though, I had one for my One X and I really liked it. I would def recommend you guys check them out. Or also Capdase. I just got a white case from them today as well. Both very nice. One is glossy, one is matte.
Thanks! Looking forward to the pics

Do you order straight from their website ? I had their case for my s3 and loved it but then a whole ton of knockoffs started coming out.
So my phone arrived, and I had it in the Rock case within about 5 minutes. I'm in Korea for the day, so I'm trying it out. So far: really like it. The case fits like a glove. Doesn't snap on really tight like some, but there is absolutely no movement. I actually prefer this to the ones that make you think you are going to break your phone putting on/taking it off. The black on black looks so good! It's super thin, so the phone shape is maintained. It also has a very slight lip around the edges on the front so you can put it down on it's face, if you want.
The negatives: the black is a fingerprint magnet. I guess that's why they bundled a cloth in the package. The other is I am afraid I'm gonna drop my phone and it will break. I attribute the fear to having just got the phone, as well as being pretty hungover . If I were to drop the phone, the case wouldn't do much to protect it. It's more like a scratch guard.
Anyway, so far I really like it. I bet the coloured ones on the black would look ridiculous good. I'll add pictures when I get some time.

I have Rock "Quicksand" case with the Xperia S.
Dropped it from around waist level to the hard ground. No scratch.
So.. when I got One, I quickly try to find a Quicksand series but they don't seem to made it yet.

Search on amazon for the bear motion case. I had the quicksand for my s3 and this bear motion feels just like that.

Thanks, I already ordered something similar from ebay (not bear motion). I believe they came from the same wholesale retailer and slap different brand on it...
