I just ordered one on ebay that came with the Commuter Case, a horizontal leather pouch that fits with the Otterbox and a car charger. All of this was for $34.99 with free shipping. They also have the Defender with the same options for $44.99.

Why Otterbox
Quick question, but why Otterbox?
Good quality case, or thinnest? Does it work with the verizon sold window mount?
(Not trolling, I just don't know.)

Good looking case that is a solid build. It is definately not the thinnest case though. I don't think that it would work with the window mount.

Wondering if anyone has tried it yet? I know the high gloss Silicon case fits in the car mount (as the mount comes with inserts to allow either an extended battery, or a reg. battery, with case... to fit.)
Anyone?
I've been using the case for about a day now and might just keep the black tpu one from Verizon. In hand, the case feels great and I like how the ports have flaps to keep junk from getting inside. The only downside I've found is the silicone attracts a ridiculous amount of lint. Took it out of my jacket pocket this morning and it practically needed to be wiped down with a damp cloth. I'll be damned if I am going to carry around wet naps to keep this thing clean
Jesus Christ doesn't that bother The hell out you? It drives me crazy LOL. I'm in construction so I keep my phone in a sandwich baggy at all times in work, while its in my pocket. But as soon as I take it outta the bag and put it in my pocket, you can forget it. It becomes a frikken mess. Bit its not too bad. I liked the one for my EVO 3D better. Ohh well, that's life I guess

Nope. I just got mine and tried it with the "iBolt" car mount made for the RZD and it does not fit properly. It isn't a matter of overall size - it's the fact that Otterbox cases usually, as in the case of the RZD cases, have a plug/flap over the USB connector. Unless you can live with cutting it off, you can't fit the Commuter case in the dock because the flap is in the way, open or closed.

Visually, yes it does look pretty cool and would do a good job protecting the phone in case of a drop, however, the plastic is VERY slick. I've almost dropped the phone because of the backing plate of the case.
I guess I'll just keep this one until the Seidio Surface comes out and sell this Otterbox.

Just got mine today and feel exactly the same way. The plastic back makes it kind of slick in the hand. Does OK in the pocket.
Plus it does not fit in my cup holder stand.
I do like the screen save though. Comes close to covering the entire screen.

I just got a GS2 and trying to decide whether or not to get a case. Do you guys suggest getting one for added protection from drops?
EDIT: Ok, clearly a case is necessary, but which one? I have an Otterbox Commuter on my iPhone and dig the feel and durability. I see many complaints about SG2 cases not fitting or not having the right holes. Which is the best case in terms of fit, durability, and feel?
I definitely would. Protects from scratches, marks, and dust. I wouldnt count on it to protect from a normal drop though. I would suggest the Otterbox Commuter (make sure its the ATT i-777 version)
It's a $500+ phone you have. If you're ok with it breaking, then go without a case.
That's not saying it will break. There are plenty of stories about how well this phone does when dropped.
But it's the same reason people wear seat belts. 99% of the time they don't do much. But that 1% when you're in an accident, you're really happy you had it on.
It only takes one bad drop to ruin your phone. And screens for samsung devices are super expensive.

Are you sure that Otterbox makes a case for the AT&T version? I checked around and only found a Commuter for International version.
I have an Otterbox Commuter now for my iPhone and love it.
They just released an att version for the otterbox commuter. I have the international and its fits flawlessly. The top Mic cut out is off but the call quality is still the same. Paid 20 bucks on Amazon for it

This is going to depend a lot on how you use your phone. I am using the casemate barely there which provides a moderate level of drop protection while maintaining the slim profile and light feel that I really love about the Galaxy phones. But when I need to travel for work I put on the Ballistic case which has huge rubber corners and feels indestructible which is nice when you are moving around a lot and adding a much greater risk of dropping your phone. The otterbox commuter is a decent case, my wife has one on her iPhone 4. It seems to be a nice middle road between something like the "barely there" and the Ballistic.
Did you drop your old phone a lot?

http://www.otterbox.com/Samsung-Gal...r=20&start=1&cgid=samsung-galaxy-s-2-cases-us
There is a balance between protection and bulk in cases
I don't want a case that inhibits the phone from venting heat. And I don't want one that is too bulky. I've tried a lot of different cases, and this is the one that I like best:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/320771114659
Just don't drop it from too high above a floor that's too hard, and it should protect the phone OK. And at this price you can get a couple of them as spares, since they will crack occasionally.
The other thing about this case is the matte rubberized finish. Helps the phone to stay put in your pocket. It also makes the phone feel much more secure when holding it in your hand.
Here's a list of many of the available i777 cases:
http://www.traemcneely.com/2011/10/...i777-samsung-galaxy-s2-sii-cases-covers-sgs2/
The SGS ballistic case is way too big and the bumpers snag in your pocket. The case mate pop is great as long as you don't mind the shiny back scratching all to hell in two weeks. Also the grey plastic around the edge flakes off really easily. The commuter is smaller than both and likes to draw dust... The thin cases will never completely protect your phone. Always had otterbox, always will keep using otterbox.

TPU cases have a tendency to stretch if you take them on and off too much. I had one for about 2 weeks and it was already feeling loose and I was only taking it on/off about once a day.
And they attract lint like mad. The reason I was taking it off daily was to rinse it off.

35 bucks! Damn. Not any cheaper on Amazon. That's a bit too much for me.
Thanks guys for the tips. I ordered a couple cheap hard TPU cases like some recommended here to see how they are. Perhaps I'll need more protection and look into something else.
I didn't drop my old phone a lot, but I did once in a while drop it from my desk. I don't have insurance on my GS2 so I would like some protection in case it drops since the phone feels fairly fragile.
Can anyone recommend a middle of the line case between thin TPU cases and the Ballistic? I know Otterbox is along those lines but $35 is too much!

I agree with your line of reasoning here. I loved the Otterbox on my iPhone. I liked the hardness of it. My girlfriend had an Otterbox Defender and that was just too much. Did you pay $35 for the Otterbox?

maybe the case-mate pop. conflicting reports on whether it has the right holes or not. it also has the built in kickstand

oh, also, the otterbox should come down in price soon, like the intl. GS2 version has.
I have the casemate barely there and the casemate and the casemate full version. Both work great and give flexibility.

The Case-Mate Pop! is the best I've found. It is a hard plastic case that is lined on the inside with rubber for shock absorption. It also has rubber inserts on the outside along each edge. Has a very solid feel with good grip. There is also a fold out stand but I don't really use it that often. Nice feature to have though.
It does add a little to the bulk of the phone but not as much as the Otterbox or other heavy duty cases. I found it a good compromise between size and protection. I think it's well worth it for something that fits perfectly and feels really good in the hand.
All of the holes line up perfectly on this case even it's categorized under the International SII. The noise canceling mike on top is included in the microphone cutaway. No noticeable difference in signal quality or phone call quality.
Sorry, tried to post a link but I'm too new. You can go to Case-Mate's website and look under the Samsung Cases, Samsung Galaxy SII, International version.
I have the Casemate Barely There Aluminum, SGP Linear, and some mesh one I got for $3 on ebay. Out of all of these I prefer the SGP Linear. It completely protects the phone, leaving no edges exposed, feels like quality, and keeps the slim profile of the phone. I had to make a little hole for the noise cancelling mic but that was easy.

Yup! I had the Surface on both mine and my gf's Incredibles that worked great. I can't wait for this case.
I tried to chat with a Seidio rep yesterday to find out when they would releasing (like early 2012, etc.) and she couldn't provide any kind of timeline. She did say I could sign up to receive a notification but I'm not really trying to do all that.
I used to love their other cases on my g 1, specially with the holster. I know it took forever for them to come out on the droid x, hopefully this doesn't take as long.

I was initially pissed that they didn't make one for the Desire when I had it until recently so I went with otterbox on that phone when I got it since it was the only good case out for it. Now I am glad because otterbox makes a much better product than the seidios on my blackberries.
I got a $6 tpu case on ebay and its great, why spend the money?

The TPU cases are great, but don't provide the same level of protection as something like the Seidio Active. One big thing I am looking forward to in the Active is how the gel layer makes it easier to press the volume/power buttons since there are little rubber bumpers inside. Whereas the TPU cases make it nearly impossible to press the buttons.
I have a TPU case too, but for me, the only peace of mind it offers is knowing I can set it down without on a surface without worrying about damaging the casing. I would NOT anticipate a TPU case to protect from a bad drop. Not enough protection for adequate shock absorption.
And as a personal thing, I think the Active makes the phone look better, and also makes it feel better in hand. Burgundy Active case on this device will fit really well, since it is red/black, which is the theme of the device. So yeah, that is why I buy the Active. Greater peace of mind, device functionality, feel, and look.

I have a TPU case on my Inspire (which is a pretty well constructed phone). I had it in my camp chair cup holder which I folded up when I was leaving. When I swung the chair into the car the Inspire must have came out. I backed out over the Inspire (Tire tracks on the back of the TPU case). When i realized it and went back for the Inspire it was face down and the screen protector was scratched from the gravel, the volume button was broke (but still worked), and a couple very small marks on the edge of the frame around the screen where the only problems. Pulled the screen protector and everything works fine.
I now have a Otterbox Commuter on my Rezound. I guess I dont know the point of the story other then the Inspire seems to be better built then the Rezound. I'm not sure it could survive getting run over with my Otterbox let alone a TPU case.
I'm REALLY hoping they come out with an active case for the Rezound. I have one for the standard and one for the extended for my Bolt and I LOVE them both. I have an Otter Defender on it now just to keep it in good shape while I wait for Seidio to come out with something.

The case means the most to me. I would also hope they make the dock like they made for the Bolt (with the insert so you can dock it with standard or extended battery.) I would LOVE to see a kickstand on the case too since I use my kickstand on the Bolt a lot. They ended up putting the one kickstand on the Active extended which was great too.
Go Seidio Go!

Nope. As far as I know otter box is the only one that has those flaps. Its either the defender or the commuter.

Hi there,
Im looking for thin case.
Best I have found is this case on ebay
Design is not bad, but its not covering glass area around the camera.
Questions:
1. Is there any thin case(plastic, rubber) that covers that?
2. Anyone tried skins? Will they remove easily(considering phone is jeans pocket)?
3. Those who are using various rubber, gel, hybrid and so on cases, how much fatter is your phone with them? If its not that much fatter suggestions on good cases then

I have tried them all, best case is either the capdase brand or official HTC TPU case. They both let your phone slide into your pocket easy, don't bulk out your phone, look great and offer good protection.
The Ebay jobs are just cheap rubbish you get fed up with after a week or 2.

Look up the Kraken AMS. That is a reasonable case.
Alternatively just look for something like this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BLACK-HAR...sesPouches&hash=item3a6a2fac16#ht_1887wt_1396
Best thing about this type of case is it doesn't add too much bulk, and is easy to get in and out of your pocket (unlike a silicone/rubber case). And it will actually protect your phone in a drop unlike that case you linked to in your original post. As for your screen... only BIG cases include a plastic layer to completely cover the glass.
Are you just looking for something with raised edges, and then use a screen protector perhaps? (Like the ebay one I showed you).

this has been the best case for me so far, its very thin, and has a rubber skin with a hard plastic shell..the kraken, and defender are way to big for me. this case is just the right size its about the same size as a tpu case.

Well worth the extra few pounds.

@Scougar- that case looks good. Nit expensive, will order and try it
@jtgarza3- I know about Acase but the problem is I can't get it in my country(amazon ships books and kindle only) and I cant find it elsewhere. I believe it is the best case
@vervester- thanks mate, will try it
Still can't find a case I like better than the acase superleggra.... Look into that, wonder if there's anywhere you buy it that will ship it to you. its cheap and sounds like what your looking for.

My case looks exactly the same and it was £3 from amazon.
IMO the thinnest cases are the back cases ones that doesnt really cover the top and bottom bezel...just the sides and back. BUT if you really want to protect your phone and not get it scratched up over time, you are better off using a TPU type case as the are not too thick and are of softer material and will not rub off any of the black anodized paint. Unlike any hard cases, whether its back only or 2 pieces. Also TPU cases are more absorbent during accidental drop on hard surfaces.
I was running seidio 2pc case hard case w/kick stand with my first 3d and although it had felt inside it eventually rubbed off the pain on the top corners of my phone. The felt inside was very thin and the case is not skin tight so it would move some and the slight movement of the case over time eventually sandpapered some of the paint off. TPU or rubber type cases are more skin tight and is not as abrasive as plastic on painted metal and will not damage the paint so long as you also clean it off from time to time. Some dirt can eventually get in between and the dirt will act as sandpaper. So just consider this when you're buying a case as some of you would probably like to sell your phone later down the road or just want to keep it looking new for a long time.
Finally found ultra thin(slim) case

Those thin cases are the exact same thing as the case mate barely there cases. Much cheaper. I got the rock brand and like it a lot. You do lose that boot of protection at top and bottom though.
Some people have complained that these type of cases are a bit loose on the sides. Easy fix is to lightly squeeze the sides inwards... tight fit!

I got mine. The case even covers the camera also come with a screen protector which works well if you put it on str8 with no dust.. Tho the one you posted looks like it's for a extended battery.
Cost only 4 dollars 3 shipped
NO not THAT type of protection :angel: Ordered my new Rezound today and am looking for a good screen protector, case, etc. I have done a little searching on topic and I see alot of "I wish they made this for the Rezound" and not many consistent reviews. I am a mechanic and with my old DINC I had the issue with metal shavings even if I put in a small ziplock bag. Anyone have a good cheap fix to this problem so I don't immediately screw my new phone? I have found: CASE and PROTECTOR that I like so far. The realook seemed to be on par or similar to the steinheils people seem to worship. thanks in advance
screen protector
I work in a machine shop, so i get shavings as well
On my BB the chips would get into the speaker and cause problems
I use best skins ever protector without any case and have not had problems.
easy install, smooth feel works great

that's interesting, is it just a plastic shield for front and back?
If bulk is not an issue, I'd suggest getting the Otterbox Defender case. I has a built-in screen protector and will make it pretty hard to damage your new phone. Check them out here....

By the way, you can find them cheaper on Amazon or Ebay. I have no affiliation with any of the companies mentioned in this post.
I agree with mefloump, I just purchased the Otterbox Defender and it works great. I highly recommend it.
I've been looking at it too. I have someone else with one on an iphone. Nice cases.
Check out the ZaggShield. Definitely my favorite.
will def give those a look at. I was a little concerned about "bulk" how bulky is it? Like I keep my phone in my pocket (non saggy/baggy) am I going to have problems fishing it out? lol

IMO, I don't think you will be able to get it in your pocket with the defender case. It comes with a holster though. Personally I use the body glove case because it is slim fitting.

Just ordered a seidio surface case from amazon I'll let you know how it is. I wanted protection without adding to much bulk and it was the nicest one I found.

your best bet is zagg! order online for 16 or 17 buck + shipping, but it is a lifetime replacement if anything happens to it
Not sure if it was suggested but get the Zagg screen protector and pop out the screen protector that comes with the Defender case. You'll be pretty protected.

I would look into ghost armor if I was you. They are the best screen protection I have ever found but I wouldnt order one and put it on yourself, they put it in a littlte hot box to cook it to the screen. Amazing feel, almost cant tell its there, and they do a little demo by intentionally scratching it with car keys and what not with no damage.
I've been pretty happy with tpu cases, very thin yet durable. I've actually dropped it a few times with no problems. And to top it all off I just got one off eBay for about $2.. I also use the cheap screen protectors because they feel smooth and if I scratch them it's not the end of the world.

Thats funny you say that. I am a field tech with Yale, the yellow forklift company, and thats actually what I did too for the first couple of months of owning the Rezound. I carried that sucker around everywhere with it inside of one of those little parts ziplock type bags from work.
