[Q] what is the best fit cover /case for tmobile samsung galaxy s2?

apparently there are no many options out there
the tmobile one is bulky and heavy
i found some on amazon which are light weighted and thin but they say the are not cut precisely especially at the button to the way that covers the mic
any idea ?suggestions ?

D30 is what a lot of people are using, Incipio just came out with some, Otterbox = no, Trident by the end of the month, and Seidio pretty soon.
Oh, I'm using the Body Glove Revel (T-Mobile) with a Realook and loving it.

what about the Belkin translucent grippable protection from target ?

Trident has always been a reputable case provider for my previous phones. Check out tridentcase.com. I believe the T-Mobile version will be out soon. Their cases are very stylish and protective in my oppinion.

My tpu case just came the mic hole seems to be properly aligned now. It wraps tightly around the phone no loose parts. its not a lint collector either.

I personally hated the D30... the power button was difficult to press with it on. I bought a $9 tpu from Amazon and IMHO think its a million times better... my Michael hole was off but nothing a razor blade couldn't handle. IV ordered the incipio feather case (more my style) and it should be here tomorrow. Ill post some pics when I have hands on.

Black. I always rock black... well, my white i9100 I had a silver breathe case.. but I like to keep it neutral. I LOVE the breathe case. As previously stated, not much in drop protection, but its slim and light and doesn't even feel like you have a case on at all... that's what I look for in a case... I hate the clucky stuff.

Yea, normally I do black too, but figured I'd switch it up for this.
I hate bulky cases too and just want something for a little added protection.

You can just try the white body body glove that tmobile is selling. It fits nice and very well. In my opinion its the best that I have ever seen.

The argyle tpu case fits suprisingly well for only 5 bucks shipped from amazon

I had the otterbox commuter for my sensation and loved it. For my s2 I was looking for something comparable, and the best so far I've tried is the incipio case. It comes with a rubber inner and a nice smooth outer hard case. Comes with a screen protector too. Very solid case, no complaints from me. Looks sharp too
Swyped from my iPhone eater

I have the Ballistic SG case and I think it's the best protective hybrid case.
Everything feels solid, no loose fitting silicone, and looks cool. Pretty much a tank; I've dropped my phone twice since I've had it, and I haven't even flinched.
The Incipio Silicrylic looks nice (prob best looking hybrid), but in that video review I saw (posted in this forum), the really loose fitting silicone on the sides would drive me nuts. Plus I saw how the dude could pop the phone right out of the case like a cheap silicone case... wouldn't trust it on a serious drop.

I am using the white body glove case and no complaints so far.

D3O
the D3O Dual is very nice!!!!!!!!!

I too got the body glove case for my new s g s 2, but I've noticed that the front corners are exposed and vulnerable to damage if I drop it.

I got a purple Diztronic TPU case from Amazon & it's really nice. I also have the white body glove case, but I don't use it all that much cause I'm just not crazy about white :/

[Q] Quality WHITE cases?

Hello there, currently have an Incipio Silicrylic Light gray on White, and the white is almost a yellow now.
Anyways, looking for a white, quality case that protects similar to the Silicrylic, which is a rubber part that goes on the phone, and then a hard plastic back that holds it all together. If links and prices are posted I'd be greatly indebted.
So lets go!

I'd have to either go with SGP Ultra Hybrid or Cruzer Lite to save some money but yet still get a HQ case.

Thin "barely there" case

Im looking for a very perfect fitting case for my gnex, I love my naked phone so I'd like a pretty thin case just to prevent scratches and minimal drops. I want something that allows for easy pressing of the buttons as most cases make that pretty hard. Anyone have a great case they'd recomend?

i guess. the sgp and diztronic are both tpu cases, so there is no major difference. for the diztronic i like the button cutouts, don't have to worry if the case makes it hard to push buttons

incipio feather or the ringke are pretty thin cases

I have the case and no, it's not barely there. (Though I still like it for other reasons)
@OP, you should take a look at Rearth Ringke and SGP Ultra Hybrid.

I use the diztronic smoked gray translucent case. It looks nice being semi transparent, adds very minimal bulk, and comes with a nice screen protector. I ordered a skinomi also but haven't put it on yet because I don't really like the feel that type of protector gives, so the quality of the protector that came with my tpu case was a nice surprise.

You want one of these. They're like the ringke cases but a lot cheaper. They are surprisingly good quality.

do any of these thin cases fit with the extended battery? (2000mah)

Incipio has a great light case.
my other phone is a Nokia n900 maemo

Ringke slim fits the extended battery without the cover (cdma version). It's perfect for exactly what you described, small drops and scratches. Looks great too.

I carried my Nexus One for 2.5 years with out a case and had no problems. However, if you're going to get one, get an Incipio. I've got one on my Tab and it is really nice.

New to GS3, Please help with Case and Screen Protector

I just got my t-mobile GS3 today! I love it so far coming from a Sensation.
Looking here in the accessories section is quite overwhelming. Can a few of you recommend a good (not very expensive) screen protector (prefer dry application type, but not necessary)?
Also what is a good basic case for protection? Maybe a decent (but not expensive) TPU case and also one of those leather flip cases?
Im not new to XDA and I realize that there is TONS of info on screen protectors and cases here, but there is almost too much and the threads are like 30-90 pages long.
So if a few of you could just recommend inexpensive good screen protectors and 2 different types of cases I would really appreciate it
in the mean time ill keep searching, but there is just way too much info
Thanks!

Urban armor gear cases all the way. The screen protector included is pretty good. Better than some ive used in the past. If not look into the seidio surface, love that case too

thanks for the suggestion.
those look nice and rugged, but at this point i am not looking to spend $35 on a case. I really appreciate it though.
anyone else have any other suggestions for a decent inexpensive case (TPU or leather flip) and screen protector?
thanks

On budget the diztronic tpu seems to be peoples favorite.
Sent from my Galaxy S3 using neighbors wifi

Screen protector I recommended SGP ultra crystal. Case I recommended UAG. U can grab UAG from Amazon.com for only 25++. If want cheaper, get an Ballistic SG shell or Otterbox commuter.

Just got my zagg ishield installed on my phone. Its a little expensive (P1500, thats about $37), but i think its worth it since it covers the front & back part. And it has lifetime warranty.

Ive been looking on amazon though the reviews. looks like there are basically 2 versions. one is flat matte and the other is high gloss finish. I like the look of the flat black better, but some reviews say its kind of slippery. The high gloss version reviews say its not as slippery...
do you have either one? any suggestion? have you tried the flat matte?

I have the zoogue tpu which its pretty much the same as diztronics.. Mine is matte black and has nice grip, it is not as grippy as rubber but its good. Keeps the phone's slim design. The gloss i assume has better grip cause of the stickiness on the gloss. But the scratches would show alot compared to matte. I Dont have a gloss tpu so cant put my finger on the differences.

I have the matte black diztronics case. It has a little grip to it, definitely more than the phone with no case. I got matte because I hate cleaning off fingerprints plus it just looks better to me.

Always use phone cases from DSstyles.com. I am happy that they have many designs for S3 so I can choose one I like most. Besides the look, it can protect my S3 against scratches, bumps. My case is very easy to use and has perfect cutouts for all ports and buttons.

I would definitely reccomend UAG. Light weight and protective. Price is a little steep depending where you buy it.
|When Emotion Goes Up, Logic Goes Down|

What kind of case most people like??

Just wonder what kind of cellphone case most people like to use...TPU? hard? flip? frosted? glossy? black? color? transparent?
I stick to slim hard cases all along..I don't think their protection is less than those more bulky TPU cases.. (ooppss..sorry to TPU lovers..)
what is your choice?

I just ordered a UAG case for my s4. Had one on my s3 and loved it. Great quality for the price. But does not protect your phone if it falls face first onto a gravel road haha.

the ironic thing, the accessories section isn't even being used or these such threads aren't moved there.
that being said, I like the Otter Box defender series. too bad I needed one ASAP and I couldn't get the blue one, because not only is it available but I was able to snag OBs on Amazoon nowadays for 20% off regular price...

i like my phone without a case

if youre going to buy a case for the s4 it has to be the spigen sgp neo hybrid white/black
if you want a higher quality aluminum one then buy the iphone style one that offers full drop protection, add a spigen glast screen protector and your good to go :good:
