I know the AT&T version of the SII is the closest to the european model. The only case I find attractive is the genuine mesh case:

Any idea if this case would fit the AT&T model?
Thanks!
The International version specs : 125.3 x 66.1 x 8.49 mm
AT&T version : 126 x 66 x 9 mm.
You really don;t need a case for this device. Its so slim and the back cover is readily available if one screws it up. Mine separated from removing it to switch out batteries. Then again I don;t use screen protectors either. I like hoe slick it is and the glass is really hard to mess up.

I agree gorilla glass is amazing I beat up my captivate. Only reason for me to get a case is if said case has a kick stand to prop up phone for movies

don't do it
The problem is that case leaves the corners exposed...I bought one for my international i9100
I bought the following...
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-Genuine-Galaxy-S2-i9100-SII-Mesh-Hard-Case-NEW-/180723707360?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item2a13f8ede0
I dropped the phone on the floor. It hit the corner and CRACK no more display. Beautiful case though...
The Official Mesh case is the only case I want to get for this device and I don't know if they will make an AT&T compatible one... It would be very nice if they did.
just chiming in..
got the black mesh case for my AT&T model.. doesn't fit..
so close but no cigar. It really is a nice case though!
Mesh case that fits i777
I have all of the following mesh cases.
These do NOT fit the Samsung Galaxy S2 i777 (AT&T):
http://www.ebay.com/itm/190577180423
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0056G07Z6
This one kind of fits:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/180715368559
The fit isn't exactly perfect, but it's good enough. The texture is really nice - slightly tacky. The nice thing about this case is that the corners cover a little more of the phone than the other ones do, which should protect it a little better that the other ones. Just make a hole for the second microphone near the top, and you're good to go.
EDIT: The above case develops a crack with a few days within a few days of use. I cannot recommend it.
This case does fit perfectly:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/320701889899
but, the top and bottom of the phone are fully exposed, and there is really no protection for the front. If you want a case to prevent scratches to the back of your phone, then this will work. If you want a case to protect your phone when you drop it, this won't protect your phone in the most vulnerable places for damage - the corners.

Looks the same as the eBay ones. But you say it does fit? As in the entire rim of the phone is in the case without one side being favored?
Just curious because I love the mesh case but this one for the i9100 does not fit my phone (ATT version)

I don't understand how one mesh case can be a different size from another. I have the international version and it fits perfectly. It doesnt set in the case without a tiny bit of force, it snaps in and is a perfect fit.

I don't think they are differnet but the dimensions of the att version and the international version are slightly different. Also.. Im not the only one who is not seeing a perfect fit. Even the distributer that I bought it from confirmed it doesn't fit right.

Yes, entire rim fits in and stays in almost perfectly. It's made for the international version, so the fit isn't exactly perfect. For the price it will work until a perfect one comes out. I'm a perfectionist. Most people would probably think that this thing fits just just fine.
I haven't dropped it yet, though, so I don't know how well the case will stay on the when dropped. But it is a very good fit.

The two mesh cases that don't have a metal name plate on them are slightly different. Look under the speaker hole, and notice that one has mesh holes all the way across, and the other one doesn't. You want the one that doesn't have holes all the way across the bottom row of mesh holes below the speaker hole.

See post #7 above, the last link. You bought the one that doesn't fit. The other one with no mesh holes across the bottom of the speaker hole does fit. Look carefully, and you'll see the difference. I just ordered another one off of ebay last night for $2.50.

alrighty.. I seriously don't think there is another case out there this nice.. so, I'm gonna give this one a shot, despite it clearly saying it is compatible with the i9100, and not the i777 . But.. i have holes under my speaker button, so you might be on to something.. I'll order later today- and let you know when I get it.. thanks again.
ugh.. and they don't have it anymore
This is considered to be a row of holes below the speaker hole right. Cause this one fits perfectly.

Does anyone know a good case with a kick stand? The most important features are just the kickstand and thinness. I know Casemate makes a great one, but it's way too thick.
This one seems okay:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/TPU-FoldOut...ccessories&hash=item2eb8015e60#ht_2188wt_1163
But I'd have to make a slight modification for the microphone, and most importantly, I don't know if it will fit. I'm quite weary of any of these cases that can fit both the international and ATT versions.
I bought my GS2 on launch day and ATT had 4 different cases in the store. Case Mate was the only one offered with a kick stand but it felt cheap so I opted not to get it. There was a nice leather case but none of them fit the phone, lol. Guess those will be sent back.

I even have communicated with Body Glove about one of their cases (As I have been a fan of that one and used it on my Cappy and Infuse both) but they said they will not be producing a Body Glove case for our phone So I am going to try the above listed one and I will let you know.

I've had this for about 3 days now. I think its called Minisuit
Pros: Thin, light, tight fit, good kickstand, cheap, quick delivery
Cons: no hole for secondary mic, generic micro usb rechargers have trouble given cutout (stock cable works fine)
Happy enough with it for now.

I was considering that one, but hard cases are more difficult to cut the mic opening.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium
Ok, I got the case.
Doesn't fit 100%.
The bottom in particular, but it's barely noticeable. The top mic needs to be cut out some more, which shouldn't be too difficult since it's not plastic.
Case actually looks a lot better than I expected. The kickstand is very flimsy, which I expected. Once you put the stand up, don't put any pressure on it. It's very likely to just snap off. The power button becomes pretty stiff, too.
They also ran out of minisuit keychain screen cleaners. They said if I want one, email them about how I feel my order is "incomplete without one," and they'll send one when they have more stock.
Kind of a weird way to make us word it.
Either way, I'd recommend this if you need a very sleek and thin case that doubles as a flimsy kickstand.

That's what I was thinking. Ultra Thin Air don't seem to be blocking the mic.. or it shouldn't since the top is pretty much open.. Anyone want to try it out? lol I'm thinking that they're putting that description for every single SGSII AT&T case though.
They're most likely talking about the noise cancelling mic. It's on the top, right next to and below the headphone jack.
Yes, but the Ultra Thin Air Series barely covers the top noise canceling mic from what I'm seeing.
Anywho, I emailed them asking if they had cutouts for the lanyard loop, and antenna and they said that the AT&T versions do have to for some odd reason to be compatible with the international version of the phone. Which brings me to question why they even have separate pages for the phones. Cases for this phone are sooo confusing.
So they pretty much did no editing to the case, kept it the same as the international version except give us the AT&T version of the screen protector?
tbh they're both 4.3..the att is the international one lol
How big a deal do you guys think the noise cancelling mic being covered is? If it is used only for noise cancelling then it doesn't seem like that big a deal, but I'm sure it's used for more than just that which could be kind of a pain in the butt.
Yeah, but it's just strange to have two useless cutouts that can only trap dust. Just the way they marketed them as two separate products, yet still saying they are compatible with other versions of the phone (but then not saying that the international version is compatible with the AT&T), is dumb. All for a different screen protector.
Seems like SGP removed the statement saying about covering the mic on the SGP Ultra Thin Series.. It's still stated on the Capsule.
well looking at the pictures of the ultra thin. it wouldnt cover the mic in the first place
^yup but they stated it was going to cover it when they first put that page up online lol
they make awesome cases, but their webpage management is horrendous
e.g.
http://www.sgpstore.com/blog/new-arrival-att-epic-bionic/
lol epic 4g touch as AT&T SGSII and vice versa
I'll wait for the matte finish cases from SGP. I hope they come out with one..

Does anyone know if there are any Bumper Cases for the ATT SGS2 or anything that fits the ATT version?
I'm looking for something that would give me some drop protection without really adding any bulk to the phone. And I think a bumper case would be great if I can find anything.
So far I have not really been able to find anything. I saw a few international bumper cases but I don't know if they fit and I don't want to spend money for international shipping without knowing that it would fit properly.
This is the only one I could find.

I purchased the black bumper case from this ebay seller. http://www.ebay.com:80/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220870704009&ssPageName=ADME:L:OC:US:1123
It came really fast. Shipping only took 2 days.
I really like this case. It is made of hard and soft tpu. It fits perfectly even though its made for the international version. It does have the cut out in the corner for the antenna. It DOES NOT have the right cut out for the second mic. I was going to drill a hole, but in my testing the mic still seems to work as it is barely covered.
This is a great bumper case for the price. It adds no bulk and still protects the phone. I will try to add pics later.
Are there any good bumper cases without the hole in the corner? I have a fear that if I ever drop my phone it will land exactly on that unprotected corner.
I got the neo hybrid in reventon yellow and my friend wants 1 in tender blue but the only 1 I've seen is a chinese knockoff. Will the tender blue I9000 case fit on the at&t I777 ? I think they are the same case the only difference is the screen protector that comes with it

Not sure if you were looking at eBay or from the main site that lead to Amazon, but that's what I got from it. And I'm pretty sure if there was a i9000 case it wouldn't fit, unless you meant the i9100. ;D
But from what I've read from different threads: they're all from the i9100 and they just change the screen protector, not the actual case.

Assuming its the one that's "made" for our phone it should come with the screen protector but I can't tell you for sure. Worst case you can buy the screen protector separate knowing it will be the right one and return it if the case did come with the right one.

this is not a good case. when the phone warms up, the rubber expands and it feels like a loose shirt. It eventually stretches out permanently too and looks like ****.

I purchased one from amaz0n on Friday. It should be here tomorrow. I will take pics and post them as soon as it comes in. :good:
I am very happy with the quality of this case. The one issue I had with it was that it had no clasp. I do not like the idea of dropping this and having the front flip open and it land screen down. That would kind of defeat the whole purpose of having a case like this. So I modified mine with a leather strap and button clip to close it.

There other one is made of faux leahter for outer cover and hardcover for interior
leather case
have you try to use spigen's case
I ordered the Design case from the company in China directly, the price is reasonable and they seem to have a reasonable return policy. I'll post pictures/review when I get it.

It feels like real leather as I believe it is. Granted it is thin as they use hard backing to make up most of the thickness, but it is holding up very well and I am very pleased with the quality. I get compliments on it all the time when I go shopping or to the bank.:good:

Well that one looks nice to. I think they both use the same leather. At least that is what it looks like. The only reason I did not go with that one is that I wanted four card slots rather then three. I like the clear fourth slot for the ID so I do not have to pull out my DL all the time. But that seems to be the only difference I can tell as far as quality and function. At least yours comes with a clasp so you do not have to modify like I did.
Good looking, impractical, unusable case

So, got the case today. It's highly impractical for everyday use.
* It has VERY sharp corners so do NOT put it in your pockets.
* If you want to text, the cover part bends behind and is IN the way of your left hand while you text
* The cover doesn't close flush with the device screen when closed and sitting on a desk
* The material, while it seems sturdy, feels REALLY cheap and made out of cardboard. Just feels cheap.
* If you fold the cover back when you place this case on your desk, it sits VERY awkwardly on the desk at a weird angle.
* If you want to take a picture, HOW do you take a picture with the cover closed? The camera is exposed in the back, but how if you open the cover and it hangs down, it is just * impractical to take pictures.
* The inside cover of the case is cardboard. I would NEVER put a card (only room for one) in the slot. I would be VERY afraid of it ripping and the card falling out.
I'm not sure when this is meant to be used? If you hold the device in your hand and you are playing a game or texting, the cover is very bulky that makes it very difficult to use in your hands.
All in all, I wouldn't use this as an every day case. It's a LOT more bulky when opened back on itself for use.
The sharp corners are SCARY in my pocket. I scratched my leg at least 4 times during the course of 3 hours.
The case is now sitting on my desk unused.
Recommendation:
Nice idea. Bad execution. Impractical case.
