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.

try the casemate case...I know it looks cheap, but it has a kickstand and its hard rubber, so its decent for impact
Case
Thanks for the link and the info...I too got my SGSII on launch day and was disappointed at the lack of accessories and items available for the AT&T branded SGSII. 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. Maybe even post some screens and update the thread.

I bought this today instead of the leather case...
Its definitely not as bulky as I thought it would be (previous experience with the thrill and infuse pop cases) and the kickstand works great!
It also fits real nicely. The leather case seemed a little too tight and that it would require some effort to put in properly

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.

Yeah, it's called Minisuit. I ordered it via Amazon.
Luckily it's TPU and not a hard case so I can make that second opening.

I was considering that one, but hard cases are more difficult to cut the mic opening.
ny gs2 doesn't say Samsung or att on front.... only says galaxy S on back cover... is that supposed to be like that
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.

I went to BestBuy yesterday looking for a case and I saw that one. In my opinion, it has two problems.
1.- The kickstand is made of thin plastic, it might be functional, but it doesnt look very sturdy.
2.- (The biggest one) Once the phone is on the stand, the USB port ends up facing the table so you cant charge your phone and use the kickstand at the same time.
On the other hand, its the only option for now if you have to have one.
I rather wait until the official comes out or the dock.
The official HTC case for the 3VO will be just like the Thunderbolts, nice and slim with a meaty metal kickstand.
i bought the body glove vibe cover from the sprint store and love it. it only comes in purple that i know of. it is 24.99 and i received 25% off for buying two accessories.
edit it fits perfectly in the car dock from sprint.
I shelled out the 35 for the kickstand case (pt) from BB. More than I would usually spend on a case but it doesn't add much bulk at all and the kickstand is nice to have. It does seem on the fragile side but it locks in pretty good so I don't think it will pop out when it's not supposed to. There are 2 settings - out and out a little further. The 2nd enables you to stand it in portrait and thus charge the phone. Not a perfect case, but pretty nice.
The body glove kickstand idea looks cool but it looks bulky and well ... it's purple.

I got this yesterday also...I really like it, and I'm not a case-kind-of-guy! My OG EVO, no case, perfect condition not a single mark on it. I feel this phone has to have it just to be able to set it down safely without scratching the camera lenses which I did on my first E3D within 4 days, not good! I feel a lot more safe with this case and the cheesy little kickstand works fine. Was hoping it would still fit into that HTC car mount but no go. Picked up the universal car mount at Sprint and I am a happy E3D owner!
Hey guys can you help me find a case. Here are my needs:
-Low price, nothing ridiculously expensive I'd say under 30 would prefer under 10 but quality cost money sometimes of course
-i don't want a rubber one that doesn't slide in the pocket very well
- most important really thin my phone is big enough as it is
- good protection for screen and non intrusive on charging ports or buttons and headphone port as I use a large size cable for my cars stereo
Thanks alot guys btw I never drop my phone my sensation never had a case n looks mint so I don't need something that will help my phone take a fall just to protect from scratches I wanna keep my amaze mint

Check out "InvisibleShield" by a company called Zagg. There are application videos on youtube...
Thanks for your response but let me rephrase, I want your opinions on what's a good case for my needs if someone owns one that they personally feel meets those or similar needs thats what I want. Thanks for the links I checked threads on different cases but i found that most are bulky for the more hard shell ones that have a tight fit, the thinner ones seem to not fit very flush n be a little loose. I only found one that seems to fit but it interferes with the volume buttons and is not very snug and its the diztronic case. Also I don't like the invisishields from zagg they feel awkward and the corners usually come up and get dirty from my experience with them.

Well I have the TPU case on my phone right now and it fits like a glove and I even dropped it once and it was still in mint condition all the holes line up perfectly as far as a screen protector I just applied the xtreme guard screen protector a few minutes ago but so far can't even tell its on there. I got all of it the TPU case and the screen protectors for less then 15 dollars.

The kickstand is nice, works vertical and horizontal, hard shell snaps on, does not come off easily.
I love this case I got from Ebay it is very strong hardcase, with soft rubber touch...It is very touch and does not disassmble when I dropped it on concrete..
http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270855293133&ssPageName=ADME:L:OU:US:1123
Very Very happy with it, happier than many other cases I paid much much for.
Since its so tough its hard to get open and thats why many cases now come with crowbar, My moms did, but It was 15 dollars...so I use hers...I used to use a nail clipper end to just pry open the case (there's a space to stick the crowbar into, I tried using my nails but couldn't get it open and messed up my nails and hurt my finger lol, you need something thats not sharp but shaped like a flathead screw driver to pry it open, this is the case with most hard cases today...I would highly recommend this case.

I bought the gloss white one; very nice, and the kickstand is sturdy...
I don't have it any sort of dock, since I don't think there is a dock that will hold almost any phone inside its case..If you want to be able to dock your phone, it needs to be case-free..
I Don't use a mount in the car either.

Click on the link I posted above then click on 22 New under more buying choices. If you have Prime it is currently 29.45 with free 2 day shipping. There is a cheaper one for 24.99 but it also has 4.48 shipping.
They don't ship to PR so I got it from Otterbox with a coupon and free shipping...
2 x $81
You can buy at shopatewe from $24.99 fs. I found this site through slickdeals priced at 34 but the site shows $24.99 with FS.
Got my Otterbox Commuter today. I finally found a case I'm 100% happy with. I've tried the Seidio w/ Kickstand (silicone was lose and the kickstand felt cheap), the Samsung flip cover (didn't like the lack of protection for sides), a few TPU cases (they were ok), and the Speck Candyshell (like everyone said the back starts to scratch immediately).
The Otterbox is slightly larger than the Speck but not really noticeable. Case fits the phone like a glove. Silicone feels much better than the Seidio. S-pen is easily removable. Case feels much more protective than the TPU cases I tried. Hard plastic makes it easily removable from my pocket without the easily scratch-able plastic the Speck case had. So far I have not found a downside to the case. If you have used a Commuter case in the past you know what you are getting.
In addition for those that were wondering the Commuter comes with 2 screen protectors, 1 for the International version and 1 for the AT&T version. However, I can't comment on quality since my Boxwave Crystal is working fine.
Yep still digging the case! I dont know about you but the case does feel good in the hand

I really like the case, its about the same thickness of my platinum series or "seido" case. It's very lightweight with the phone in the case. I like the design a lot and it fits nice in my hand. It doesn't really feel like rubber but more like plastic, although it IS in fact rubber. The leather and stitching is on point, it gives it a nice look and feel. The side treads? Gives the user a good grip. Ive seen a lot of reviews saying it is hard to put the case on, but for me it wasn't even close to.being difficult. For $5 its a steal. High quality case seems like it'll be able to go through many drops without any problems. One more thing it hugs the phone very snug so you can rest assure that the phone won't pop out and it will stay protected. Here's pictures:
The buttons on the sides arent bad btw. The case does not affect my screen protector (rise along the edges or corner). Heres the inside of the case:

Looks good. I did not think the leather would look good, but it works on that case. I may have to just order that one too.
thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the review and pictures. I was on the fence about getting yet another case (I have 3-4 ebay specials I swap in & out), but the pictures really make this look sharp.
Just ordered, $5 for a $18 case is a steal.
Hey all,
just a heads up. got a sammy ruggedized case from best buy today.
two things,
firstly, it does not work properly with the samsung convertible wireless fast charger. its intermittent. laying it sideways worked better than portrait. for me, thats as good as not working. so its going back.
secondly, its helluva thick. looking for one with a much much slimmer profile..
ordered a caseolgy vault II of amazon, hope it fits the bill. theres nothing from samsung thats anything like the OEM slim case they had for the note 4.
any other suggestions for a slim tpu case that will work perfectly with wireless charging.
UAG says on their site that their cases do. I use UAG for the kids and also had one for my note II. awesome for protection, but looks funny in the boardroom in my hand next to a Rolex... if you get what i mean. design aesthetic more for bungee diving.
I know that it says it doesn't work in the amazon listing. Let me know what you think of that caseology vault. Looking for something that doesn't look like constuction equipment as well haha.

will do.
its on the website and the packaging
yes this is no secret or a major flaw. its a highly rugged case. i posted about this in the accessories forum with photos when someone asked about it. but.. appreciate your efforts though.. :good:
why dont you post or look in the accessory subforum instead of general?
Samsung's accessory website states clearly it doesn't work with all wireless chargers. I have the old "puck" style and it does work with it. I don't have the new "convertible" one to test with.
i didnt look it up on sammys website. and its not stated onthe box. so i bought it.
it is stated on a piece of paper in the box though.
my bad, should have posted in acc forum.
we should make a list of covers that 100% work in real world experience with wireless chargers a sticky. would be real helpful for those of us looking to buy one.
I want to like the case but I'm returning it for a Speck Presidio grip as it's a bit thinner.
The Samsung is too bulky and the Speck gives just as much protection IMHO.
The Best Buy branded TPU actually fits nice. Button tactile feedback is a bit weak as are the protrusions and it's overpriced by 100% (JMHO) but it's available right now...
Waiting for Diztronic to release theirs. The first revision for the S8+ was a disaster but they fixed that with a revised one.
The phone is sleek naked but one drop is going to be an expensive mistake, most likely. So there's that.
its stated on the website of samsung that it doesnt work buddy, the reason it doesnt work is because there's a steel plate inside.
Thats odd, it works with mine just fine.

tried several times, intermittent at best.
as stated by Samsung, not compatible.
Got a caseology TPU case, it works just fine.
a good thing too, the ruggedized case was too thick to be comfortable to hold.
ya it dont work on the sammy. i have two sammy convertible chargers and the same happens on both--it starts then pauses...
now i DO have the choetech charger and believe it or not the charger seems to charge the phone THROUGH the case!!!

If you lay it down flat it will charge.

Ive done that and it does not do it reliably. It's hit or miss.
No worries at all because I dont use the military case for day to day. I use the alcantara for that...
Moreover, i bought the convertible knowing the case would not work, and i also bought the convertible to be able to use the phone/have it in portrait mode since that's a feature of the charge pad...
I have both the Samsung convertible, and slanted fast chargers. It works with a little effort in both potrait and landscape modes. Similar to my s8+ in its Lifeproof Fré case, but it won't work in portrait mode

My ruggedized case works with my older Spigen tilted charger, likely due to the padding the convertible charger has

I also returned my Samsung rugged case and switched to the Speck Presidio Grip. I don't care about wireless charging, but I thought the case actually felt less protective than the Speck case. I wanted to like it because of the kickstand and because of how awesome it looked from the back, but between the thickness and the tiny front lip, the case just seemed a bit off to me.
Edit: I will say that the Samsung case felt great in my hand. It is super smooth but still grippy. If it was a bit thinner and had a slightly bigger front lip it would be my favorite case hands down.
Anyone try the Samsung Alcantara case yet?

Yes ive had it a few days now. Its premium. Classy. Worth the price of admission.
Do you have a specific question about it?

Yes. It is nice, but it attracts pocket lint (I had the black), and I personally didn't like how it felt in the hand. It was slippery, and it made my palms sweat...I returned it.

Yep, feels shaggy to me. Reminds me of the leather iPhone case turned inside out! I'm returning it. Currently using the best buy insignia brand black TPU. Best case I have for now.
