I am in the ATL and got a chance to run by Case-Mate's headquarters today. Got some good info. they have altered all of their Galaxy S2 cases to have 1 cutout on the top and they are now universal for the AT&T model and the European model. They have the POP cases and Tough cases ready to go. The website was not updated yet though.
I grabbed a Tough Case today. I was surprised to see it is actually thinner than the Pop and the Otterbox Commuter (they had one for comparison). It has nice rounded edges and great feel in the hand. I have tried the AGP, Ballistic, Pop and Belkin and none of them worked for me. This one seems to hit the spot. I will try and post pics later.

Guys, just call them on their 800 #. They have a whole team of CSRs that will process your order right away. I went into the call center and they handled my order for me. That is the reason for my post. They have hem available now with the large cutout on top. All their GS2 cases are now modified. I saw black and white Pop cases modified, Tough Cases modified and the Barely Theres are already ok.
I like it better than the Otterbox for this phone. The rest of my family all have Defenders for their IP4s. I am a huge Otterbox fan. I tried the Tough for my Inspire and IP4 and did not like it nearly as much as the Commuters for both of those phones. The GS2 Tough is a different story. I like it much better than the Commuter. Its thinner and has better grip. Fit is awesome.
I am on the road traveling and cannot take any pics because the SGS2 is my only camera. I guess I could takes pics of just the case an upload them.
pics of just the case will do! thanks!
I just called and also did the live chat online and both people told me that they won't be available until early November .

Here are a few pics. The case is awesome. I have been using it on the phone while traveling and its working out great. Had a co-worker comment on the fell of it when I handed him my phone. Buttons are easier to press than without the case. The case is fairly hard to install since it is so form fitting. Surprisingly it does not add much bulk.
To the poster above that contacted them. Sorry but you got an uninformed rep. The only way we figured this out was by physically getting the cases from their warehouse. I ask them to bring out the cases so I could see if I could alter them to make them work with my phone. To her surprise and mine, they already were set up to work for the AT&T versions. Pics prove it below and I did not touch this case. Hopefully you can tell. No reason to lie.

I talked to a rep and I also talked to a person in live chat, so I got two of them that are uninformed. I also sent them an email again making sure. I want to make sure I am sent the right one the first time. I am going to email them again. Do you mind if I use your picture for reference in my email?
My GF got a pink "Pop!" and it was for international version so she called and got the same sort of response. That they don't and won't have any cases except the ones that are at the AT&T store because they signed an exclusivity agreement to only sell the cases in stores or some BS. Bottom line is that they fed her the same thing, no cases for the AT&T SGS2 for a while. Whatever. Case looks good though bud, I might get one of those when they do come out to replace my Pop! as it is just a little big.
I don't mind if you use my pic at all. I will say after reading abacon15's post, I am beginning to wonder if I was the one that had the uninformed rep. She may have sold me a case she was not supposed to sell.
One more thing, my case came in the normal green and clear Case-Mate box. It was not AT&T branded packaging. No screen protector though. Not sure if it should have had one of those. I haven't looked on the website.

Go buy a box of them and start re-selling! j/k Looks good though. I want one. I'm a OB Commuter fan and that looks very similar.

Is this the one you are talking about that has been modified?

I get my upgrade in December and am looking to get the Galaxy S 2. I am using a Tough Case on my Inspire and love it. It has proven itself to as an extremely good case. I had it drop and hit concrete 5 times and the only thing it did was put a crack in the polycarbonate hardshell right next to the flash. I also work with tires all day and I would need this case for protection.

Ok, the automated response is ridiculous. We have confirmation from a guy who was actually at their home office and they still wanna play the automated/rehearsed response crap. That alone would make me buy the international version and be done with it.

Yeah, its pretty ridiculous.
The at&t version is now up on their site:
http://www.case-mate.com/Samsung-Ga...ng-Galaxy-S-II-ATandT-Version-Tough-Cases.asp
I am currently a Nexus One owner, and I am looking at the Galaxy S III (T-Mobile, USA).
I already know a lot about the hardware. The fact that it has an sdcard slot and replaceable battery really sold me.
I have a pretty good idea of why I like the device, based on the specs.
Now, you guys talk me out of it. What problems are there? What are the flaws? I bet I can learn a lot from what you owners have to say.
I would be looking at the dark blue color, since I can't get black. My carrier is T-Mobile USA. The first thing I would do is root it and install the most stable Cyanogenmod nightly I can get.
I've heard that replacing the front screen is very difficult, and thus breaking my screen would be very expensive (unlike my Nexus One, where I can replace the digitizer for $35, and I have, twice).
I like the size of my Nexus One, and I am not fond of these huge Android phones, because I carry it in my front pants pocket.
I've heard that the S III is somewhat fragile and breaks easily. Is there any truth to this?
As this is the I9300 forum you may be better off in a different forum if you are not buying this actual phone .

Will this work with cases that we have already? For example, it just replaces the existed door, right? Doesn't add any more thickness so we can't use the existing cases we have? Thanks in advance. I'm asking because I read the reviews on the BestBuy site and two of them say that it does add bulk slightly. Just don't want to buy this thing and then find out it's a matter of using this and not being able to use my existing case with it.

Not 100% as I don't have one yet, but I think it might add some additional thickness. So my guess is you will need new case. Maybe someone who purchased already can answer this better than me.

There's one listed on 23rd street and 6th ave here in the City. I was going to go and buy it in person and try it with the tough case I bought a week or so ago already on the phone. Figure I can always return it if they don't have a restocking fee.
Will post more information tomorrow once I check it out.
Thanks for the information, regardless. Much appreciated.

It does add some thickness. Not so much that you will notice it in your hand, but enough that most fitted hard cases will not fit properly. This is a discussion worth reviewing: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2609406
I went to the BestBuy in 44th and 5th in the City. They're clueless. Two guys with "Samsung Experience Specialists" jerseys or jackets or whatever those zip up things are, the guy kept trying to sell me something COMPLETELY unrelated to what I wanted. Finally I asked him if he had the Qi-compatible charging stand and he said no. Said he only gets "about 2 in a week". I gave up and walked out.

FWIW, I live very close to Best Buy's HQ here in MN. I know a lot of good people employed by them. With BB being a hometown store here I am rarely more than 7 or 8 minutes from a store location wherever I travel in town... That said: I drive past all of them in favor of any competitor, even if I have to go further and/or spend a little more. I do not feel they practice good business ethics as a company, and I do my best boycott them. I do some consulting work, and on occasion am forced to buy a computer component from them. I have had to do this 7 times in the last 10 years, and 5 of those times ended up with a sales person who either lied, or was completely clueless sharing bogus information as fact - in spite of their being the in-store "expert". Good luck to all who shop there, but please don't count on their staff to help educate you on making a sound purchase.
I emailed Carved to see if they'd be producing cases for the Nexus 6 since they currently make cases for the N5 and this is what I got back:
"We are continuing to add new products to the Nexus line. Please keep checking our site for updates!"
That sounds like a yes to me! Not sure how many people like/use these cases but their N5 cases look great in person. I got a buddy with a cedar case for his N5 and it's great looking plus feels good in the hand. They're wooden backed with a snap on hard plastic rubber edge and you can choose from a variety of design/wood types. They're not the most durable cases but if you're into cases that are borderline art, these are for you. I can't post links yet, this is actually my first post, but if you visit carved.com and click 'shop' you'll see a link to their current N5 case selection.
Sweet cases! How bulky are they? Is hard to tell from the pictures on their site.

They're pretty low profile. I didn't have another N5 case to compare it to but the carved case didn't add a lot of extra bulk.
I have never heard of these cases before, but now I must have one. I really hope they add the Nexus 6 to their line.
Oh very nice! I'll get bamboo on my N6 after all. and they take bitcoin!!
That huge phone with a real wood back, or one of those puzzles... Sweet. I'm glad I swung in here today and found out about Carved.

Of a particularly relevant note here--they apparently do base what phones they offer cases for based on user demand, so it's actually kind of important to leave them a comment at http://www.carved.com/contact-us explaining why it would be a Good Idea to make a case for the Nexus 6. (One thing I did note to them is that--with a difference in scale, of course--the same template would be usable on the Moto X 2nd Gen AND the new Droid Turbo as pretty much all the Motorola phones are on the same rough body build. It does help in my case that I've built tooled leather cases for non-phone stuff, so I do kind of know what is involved in making a good case design. )

and a facebook post also on the facebook fan page! I want an Ironside full wood case..that would be so awesome! love their work! their art! the skateboard one and the live ones also look cool...the ebony ones too..the full ones..i don't want no inlay one...i want that full wood look!! ha...yeah...love the art!
I've never been one to use cases on my phones but these are really nice. I've been intrigued about these wood finishes since I've seen the bamboo back option for the Moto X. Might have to pick one of these up. I'll shoot them an email to help them gauge demand.
looks like it may not be happening right away...

I bought 2 solid wood cases for me and my wifes Note 3's and both cases broke within 2 weeks really bummed me out because that case always got people's attention. It was not from carved.com so i don't know if there solid wood offering would be more durable.
Man I hope they come out with some soon.
So I submitted a request through Carved's website. My submission is in bold. Their response is in italics.
First, why are you contacting us?: Are you going to make a case for...
What device do you want us to make a case for?: Nexus 6
In your most convincing voice, tell us why we should make a case for your device??: This device is awesome and is very popular! So popular in fact, that it's been pretty much sold out since its release! It's being sold on all four major carriers and I would love to see one of your beautiful cases surrounding my device. If you make it, I will buy a lot.
Hi Robert,

The case they use for the nexus 5 appears to be a ringke slim.
Such a shame that Carved still haven't brought out a case for the N6. Has anyone found a good alternative elsewhere?

I wanted to let you know that Carved.com asked me to beta test a Nexus 6 case on the 25th, it should be here in the next day or two, not sure what the rules are about testing it so I will confirm if I can post pics and comment on it. But I wanted to share that it is making progress.
The phone has been permanently discontinued now, and Samsung has to find a way to replace ALL Note 7s. So I guess this will be a run on the stores. Hopefully people can get other replacement devices, but I have no doubt there will be those that just wont give up the phone. Good luck on rolling the dice with your safety.

Mine's already on swappa. Will have to lower the price and accept trades at this point. I just want it gone this has been the worst experience of my life. Is it a great phone? Absolutely. But the lack of proper QA testing is a direct result of these issues.

I was also tired of all the drama with the Note 7. I swapped my Note 7 for the s7 edge yesterday since the major carriers are letting you because of the phone exploding on the plane incident. So far so good, I think it's a lot smoother than the Note 7 just sucks not having the S-Pen but oh well.

I had the S7 Edge already, and I don't want to cough up more money for a phone that I already had and sold at a major loss.
Since I can't get behind the Pixel hype, it's time I go back to Apple. Samsung needs to reprioritize. I'm done getting screwed by them.
Check out the v20
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N930A using XDA-Developers mobile app
ultimately, I think the V20 is a nice phone. But certainly just cant touch the Note 7 in terms of overall features and quality. Its a tough decision. I would tell people to just get a dumb phone for cash and have them refund the difference. I mean, nothing attractive will be out between now and the next upgrade cycle I think.
Bad News Today it went Global Samsung is shutting down Note 7 for good, so everyone has to return there Note 7, so no OTA updates either.

We all know that while they conduct their investigation. Doesn't mean global recall and note 7 will never see the light of day again.

A recall seems far more likely at this point than the thing going on sale to new customers. Ever since the recall was issued, new customers have not been able to buy one. And only for a little under 3 weeks have people been able to exchange their faulty ones for "safe" ones.
I'm unfortunately done with the Note 7. I tried every front to try to give Samsung my money. They just won't take it.

A recall seems far more likely at this point than the thing going on sale to new customers. Ever since the recall was issued, new customers have not been able to buy one. And only for a little under 3 weeks have people been able to exchange their faulty ones for "safe" ones.
I'm unfortunately done with the Note 7. I tried every front to try to give Samsung my money. They just won't take it.

"Ever since the recall was issued, new customers have not been able to buy one." That's not true, I bought an AT&T N7 from Best Buy's online
store and received it last Tuesday.
I thought they resumed sales like over a week ago.
Here is the story from gsmarena.

Samsung stated that they will move forward with whatever the cpsc recommends. Which most likely is going to be a full discontinue of the product and issuing similar product replacements or refunds for returned devices. I doubt they will be forced to do much more than that. And tbh they are a massive Corp, they won't give people more than probably a 20$ gift card for their troubles. They have no incentive I think to lose even more money.
What I'm curious about though is if they will begin remote wiping phones in order to get them all returned. It's pretty easy to do on their end. I doubt the CPSC will allow the devices to be out in the wild if it's determined a design flaw.
And btw all outlets have halted or have been instructed by the cpsc to halt sales of the Note 7. Some of them permanently like ATT.

Then you were one of the lucky ones. I haven't been able to from any site or store.
This sounds like a gossip site now smh.. Note 7 is in reduced production while investigating.. Not stopped.. & note 7 firmware is still getting developed. US sales are suspended till more clarity is made of the current events... Plz stop making a mountain out of mohill..... Now back to your regular scheduled programming
Directly from Samsung's Press/media website:
"We are working with relevant regulatory bodies to investigate the recently reported cases involving the Galaxy Note7. Because consumers’ safety remains our top priority, Samsung will ask all carrier and retail partners globally to stop sales and exchanges of the Galaxy Note7 while the investigation is taking place.
We remain committed to working diligently with appropriate regulatory authorities to take all necessary steps to resolve the situation. Consumers with either an original Galaxy Note7 or replacement Galaxy Note7 device should power down and stop using the device and take advantage of the remedies available."​

So there you go. Even if production is supposedly not fully halted (at least the battery construction portion is for sure), you cant get the device anywhere. So it really doesnt matter. I do however think its entirely irresponsible to put yourself and your family members at risk with the device simply because you dont believe Samsung's "gossip". If you or your loved ones are injured by the device then its basically your own fault at this point. Whats further disturbing to me is that people are actually trying to circumvent the safety precaution update on ORIGINAL Note 7 devices?!? Like wtf?! Do you really want to have the thing blow up? Idk, I dont mean to be argumentative or dismissive in any way but I think its a bit ignorant to push aside the fact that there may be a design fault in the phone itself. Plus, Im sure most of us can swing $20-30 for a temp phone while this blows over. Of which an ATT rep - in store - told me they would refund the full value, along with all the accessories I bought for my Note.
