It doesn't look like it has a hole for the mic on top...
Let us know when it arrives! Kinda digging the Kiwi one lol
^^
Let us know how it works anyways. They look nice.
Seems like they didn't really edit the case and kept it same as international version which still covers up the mic? They say it's compatible with AT&T and International version so my guess is they didn't make any changes to the mic hole?
yeah i returned mine because of how it didn't change anything, the antenna slot and the mic hole
I've only seen 1 case that didn't have to modified. The AGF soft shell.
Well when it comes in I will have to see. If the case fits without an issue and it's a good fit but as said the mic hole is not lined up I will modify it and show what I did.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using XDA App
order from amazon, it is cheaper.
i got myself a white one
So is this case a mix of soft gel and hard plastic? Sometimes those gel cases are way way to soft and it tends to move a around a bit. Also I'm looking for something that will not add to much weight to the case. This phone is awesome its so light and I would hate to mess that up..
Pictures of phone in case with slight mod!
Here is a few shots of my case that just came in.

IMO this case is incredible. The material is the lightest, thinnest and most malleable material I have seen for a case. It does not even feel like a case is on the phone. If you don't mind a slight mod for the people looking for a case that does not disregard the slimness of the phone at all, this is definitely a good buy, and it came in like 2 days minus (Columbus Day) and the weekend.

And here my friend is your first Thanks! Thank you for the follow up. looks good
thanks for the reviews. Just placed an order for one.
I got the international version sent to me. The mic hole on top is not aligned. There is a cutout for the strap which as we know does not exist for the ATT version.
The fit is great and the material is also very good.
Will mod for mic hole but also keep an eye out for the otter box one when it is out.

Yes, As I show in the pictures the mod had to be done for the mic hole. It was very simple and you can basically follow the line on the seam with a razor blade. But as I stated this will be for people who do not want to compromise the slimness of the phone and this case is perfect for that. I know it is not as protective as an otter box but I will not be bringing my GSII to a roofing job or skydiving
Agree about keeping the slim line. Also this is rubber but an amazing texture that does not collect lint/dust and is smooth when you rub against it. Would be nice though if they made one to exact ATT specs.
Also screen protectors
I also would like to mention I purchased the Ringbo screen protectors from this site as well. 2 come in the pack for $8.99 and seem very durable.
[/IMG]
As you can tell it shows bubbles so if you don't mind the bubbles due to adhesive settling for a couple days I recommend.
I will post a response in a few days to show the difference, as it states on the box bubbles will go away after a couple days due to adhesive settling.

Also side note, these are made for the SGH-I777 I called and asked before order. This covers the whole screen, (so no square cutout at the bottom for the International version) just an FYI
so much air bubble.. I think you applied it wrong? Dry application screen protectors air bubbles usually don't go away or much from my experience. But I'm unsure about those. I bought them too, waiting for them to arrive. Usually with dry application screen protector, once you apply it, the way it looks will be the way it looks forever ..

Woops, my bad runtohell, yes it was my mistake you are correct. They decided to place 2 films on front and back of this thing to remove and I forgot one. But I guess thats the error I make for staying up over 24 hrs.
Here is the screen protector on the phone correctly. Now if you look at the post above you can say "you're doing it wrong" and I face palmed hard.
There thats better

I'm new here and registered to show how good this thing looks (in my opinion) with a carbon skin. I did the same for my iPad before I sold it. I uploaded the pictures to my User account photo album so I assume I just link them now.

Looks good. Can share with others here where you got the skin from? And is it really carbon fiber or just the design?

I got the same thing from Skinomi and I like it. I only added the one back panel.
That does look nice.
HTC Flyer / Tapatalk
Nice! Had a similar one from PhantomSkinz when I had my Captivate. Love the carbon look.
I have the same skin. I'm afraid the corners may start to peel back... Not faulting Skinomi, since it would be a problem with any cut to fit skin.
Just trying to think of ways to prevent it. Maybe a bead of nail-polish or super glue on the edges to smooth and reduce from catching... also prevent particles from getting under the edges.
I used a heat shrink gun for the edges and it pretty much gave it a very clean, secure adhesion to the tablet. I would think a hair blow dryer would do the same.
Did the same with a heat gun while wrapped in packing stretch wrap... But still feel as though it may get caught... Oh well, they sent me two by mistake or it may be there policy.

Yes, you really have to use a heat gun or blow dryer for best results ...I used a blow dryer.
I really want to get this skin combo but I wish they would cut out a section around the htc lettering like they do for the ipad skins.
I might just get it and do the cutting myself but I would prefer not to.
OP, thanks for bringing this to my attention.
Yes. I would have liked to see the HTC logo cut-out also. Overall its a nice cut.
Just installed yesterday. The pics are a bit lousy because the lighting here at work is crap and I can't just leave right now. I thought it would be nice to see the htc logo but after installing it I think it looks good as is.
It has a great textured feel to it and it adds a bit of grip to the view. I didn't install the sides because they just didn't line up right; I had to cut the skin for the top bumper because it would have prevented me from removing the cover if I need to get to my micro sdcard.
The screen protector that came with it is nice and doesn't have that rubbery feel that zagg's have. It doesn't affect the display at all unless you install it and leave many microbubbles and streaks behind.
Overall I give it 3.5 out of 5. The reason I rated it like this is because the original design prevents access to the micro sdcard without having to destroy the skin. Another reason is that the cutouts don't line up that great on the view. The edges that stick to the curves of the view seem to have been cut short and leave a bit of a gap between the skin edge and the edge it is supposed to wrap around.
Other than that, it's still not a bad price (29.95 I think I paid) for a full body-skin and screen protector. A heat gun or blow-dryer is a must use item when installing this skin. It makes the skin soft enough to be able to stretch it just bit if you need it to which is what I did in some areas to get the edges to line up correctly.
Nice skin but I agree it's a pain to cut the skin to be able to remove the sd card cover. And the corners we difficult to stay in place without putting a lot of heat to it. 3 stars for me.

Really nice

I agree about the cutting of the cover portion. A razor did it fairly easily. The back portion of the skin is great. The rest is just meh. I must say though, that this company does stand behind their product. I wrote them after my install about the cover portion that came off when I tried to change out my micro sd card. He shipped me a whole new skin, screen protector and all. It was in my mailbox two days later. This is very rare these days. For that I give it four stars. I had a problem with a full body suit from body guards and still have not received my exchang from them, and that was weeks ago. The screen protector on this setup is one of the clearest I've used but it is a little grippy and feels unresponsive at times. Although, the finger prints are way less than when I had nothing at all.
I just wanted to let everyone know that the Skinomi carbon fiber skin and the Armor Suit carbon skin are the exact same thing. I just received my Armor suit today and was surprised when it was the exact thing. So if you're shopping for one you can get the cheaper of the two. Service wise the shipping was about the same, but Skinomi was on the ball with a replacement that same day. My Armor skin was originally for my Sammy 10.1 and I exchanged it for the flyer which took a month and me calling a few times to get it. I will say that they were very nice people and very understanding.
Here is mine
purchased from amazon.com for $32.48 USD including shipping and handling.
i personally love the case. its not as bulky as everyone says it is. the GS2 is a lil too slim in my opinion and this case makes it a suitable size for me. fitment is almost perfect...i say almost because it seems like the hole for the speakers are slightly misaligned(shown in the picture below). the camera, 3.5mm jack and the micro usb holes are a perfect fit. the volume and power buttons are easy to press while in the casing. the black shiny plastic is very durable, but does show smudges if you have greasy or oily hands. the cool grey rubber provides grip and is placed perfectly along the sides and frontal rim of the casing. here are some pics:

I saw this in the AT&T store and tried it out with my phone, very nice case made 110% to fit the GSII but it ends up being VERY thick pretty and about 1.5x the thickness of the phone itself thus eliminating the thinness of this phone. If you don't mind the thickness or really need the protection then it's a great case for you.
had exact same case for my Thrill. I loved it, but like what aquarianperry mentioned above, it does make feel a little bulky. kick stand was pretty useful when it was needed
Yeah don't like the added thickness. I really hope they come out with the body glove case like the one for the cappy, one of the best cases -)

I agree! I had the BodyGlove case for my Captivate and I loved it. Sleek and smooth yet durable.
using it now- makes the phone thick but it is durable and sturdy
kickstand will come in handy when i want to eat and watch tv shows at lunch
I find the kickstand to be really useful when I'm laying down with the phone on my chest.
I ordered that same case in white from Amazon on Sunday!.. I had that same case on my LG thrill and I absolutely loved the kick stand..

Does this come with a holster, or has someone found a compatible one i.e. Platinum ?
an INFUSION of REALITY
I've got this (they totally saw me coming - got the Moshi iVisor screen protector as well) and in spite of the extra bulk, I love it. I had the Body Glove on the Cappy and wouldn't mind one similar for the GS2, but the kickstand on this totally rocks! AND I'm a klutz, so a little extra protection certainly isn't bad in my case (heheh, no pun intended).
I have a white one n it's great...
review and pics now included in original post
Doesn't it block the top mic? The mic on top is behind the headphone port almost on the edge.
I've already dropped my GS2 5-7 times pretty hard, phone is perfect and case takes a good beating. Makes the phone thick, but I don't care. Wish this thing was easier to take out of a jean pocket, but those rubber sides grip like crazy. Other than that, love the stand, feels like I'm going to break the stand but I love it. Had my GS2 for a few days before I went to get a case for it, almost dropped it once, then got smart.
This one blocks the secondary mic as well.
no no no no no
Got mine from an AT&T COR Store... It has a big cutout for the headphones and mic unlike that black one posted by OP
I love this case btw! I didn't think I'd like it at first because I thought the POP case for the Infuse and Thrill were way too bulky.
I find this to be slightly bigger than "perfect size" which is fine with me. It doesn't add that much weight either.
The kickstand also works great in the car when I use the phone for GPS Navigation LOL
I was asking because I have the white version too and the cutouts are different than the black one from the OP. Mines exactly like the post above me.
I got a black one from Amazon last week (CM014637).
Looks the same as the OP however all the cut-outs are different. There's nothing over the volume and the top and bottom aren't blocking the mics. (Just like the white version above).
why is there a hole above the volume rocker in the OP's case? what purpose could that serve?
i have the exact same case... but my holes/cutouts are very different.
There's no cases in stores around me (Bay Area) because they didnt sell the phone here so i have to buy one online. Anyone have this case? Is it good? Mic holes? Thanks

The case keeps the super slim profile of the phone, adding no bulk at all. Keeps scratches off the back but i think if you drop this you'll be in trouble, i like it though. Also the screen protector they send with the phone is the International version with the home button cut out.

finally! ive been waiting for the feather to come out for our device. ive had this for my iphone and its my fav case ever.
according to the pics from the site, doesnt look like any of the mic holes are covered even on the noise cancellation. the cut out looks big enough.
I have the other case they sell and it is an amazing case but the power button is hard to press. It is a very noticeable difference and I'm still deciding if its a deal breaker or not. You have to press it from the right angle every time and it is annoying.
Looks like the top is is actually open. I think I'ma try this one.
Too bad they don't offer white or red -- I'd be all over it in a heartbeat...
EDIT: I'm going to go ahead and try the blue one.
If anyone is interested, there's a 15% coupon floating around: FBFAN2011
(Note if you just add the item to your cart and you try to pay there is no place to enter the promo code, but if you add to your cart, browse the site a little more, and then click 'view cart' at the upper right hand as if you were going to edit the order, you can then add the code -- at least that is what worked for me)!
Looks tempting - if anyone can compare with the Casemate barely there and/or the Rearth Slim I'd appreciate it - I've got both of those but I'm always willing to upgrade
Looks like ill be getting it then
Ordered mine on Saturday, got the shipping confirmation today. Hope to get it by the end of the week!
FYI- I recently got the casemate barely there and despite what I read the top is cut properly for our i777 top mic, just like the pic posted above.
Hope that may help some who were unsure about it.
Mine should be here today
Would love to see some pictures when you get it

Just got it now, im going to update the OP when the pics finish uploading.
Thanks for sharing, seems like a cool case.
Thanks for the pictures.
I'm a little bummed out because I thought the sides went around to the front a little more. Based on Picture 3 in the OP, it looks like the screen will sit flush on a surface if it's placed faced down. That's one thing I really liked about my Case Mate case right now.
My case comes in on Friday, I'm hoping it works out ok.
Sorry, wrong case comment
I too wish it had the lay on the table design
Well I got my case in and tried it out. Sure enough, it doesn't fit quite right on the bottom part of the phone. I'm really disappointed, I think that is a deal breaker for me. I don't want to have to worry about my phone screen getting scratched up due to the poor fit. I also suspect this will make the phone susceptible to falling out of the case as well.
Bummer.

you should probably try to exchange for another one. can you take some pics of how it doesnt fit quite right? im about to order one but if its a bad batch, im gonna wait a bit before i order.
i have the same model for my iphone and love it. i have 4 different color. this model doesnt wrap around to the front and create a lip. its pretty much just a thin plastic skin for the phone.
Here's what my case looks like.
I used the case tonight and it feels like the phone pops out of the case. It seems like the area that going around the bottom of the phone and the bump. When I squeeze the sides, it feel like it gives a little bit and somewhat clicks to look more like the top of the case, but it doesn't stay.
I'm emailing Incipio to see what they can do. I don't really want to get the other case, so I will probably just return it.
I wasn't finding many bumper cases besides aluminum versions out there so I decided to try out a generic one I found on Ebay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170818419766&ssPageName=ADME:L:OU:US:1123
It was $5.99 including shipping. They have a few other colors available. The description is for "Samsung Galaxy Note i9220, n7000", but it fits the i717 great.

The black rubber buttons over the volume and power buttons make everything easy to press.
I like how the black outlines the front of the Note. The case fits mostly snug although mine is a little loose at the top (giving a slight wave on the black as it runs along the top)
I wasn't sure about white on white, but I think it works.
I had a SGP Neo Hybrid EX on my GSII and loved it. This case is definitely not as good quality, but is good for the money and will do until I find just the right one.
Edit: After several weeks of use, my only complaint is the soft black rubber can come apart from the harder white plastic. A little super glue takes care of it. I use it in a car mount that squeezes on the sides so that probably makes the problem worse.
Looks pretty good, I'm definitely interested. Why is that top corner exposed though? Maybe put a zagg full body or something on it and you'd be pretty secure.
How tight is it? I have a GLAS.t glass screen protector and I wonder if it would still fit.

It is flexible and while snug not tight so I don't think another 0.4mm thickness would cause problems.
My SGP Neo Hybrid EX for the GSII (I bought the non-US version of the case because I didn't want to wait ) had the same open area on the corner. I believe some countries have an option for an external or retractable antenna that pops out there.

I didn't even know such a product existed. I found a few others on ebay. I'm thinking of getting a less bulky case. Right now I'm using the seidio active. I'm afraid of breaking anything because I dropped it the first week and cracked my screen ($200 replacement!) so I bought the glass screen protector for my new one. I think this would be the perfect level of protection and still keep it looking good and slim. I'm not as worried about the battery cover as you can just buy a new one for $13 off eBay.
Thanks for the review and the link. It's nice to see that this is a US seller with excellent feedback score.

Antenna for Korea. The i9220 is their version. Case looks nice, I like the bumper look...but still has the lip to protect it

I took my case on and off a few times over the weekend playing with uSD cards and another battery. I noticed one corner of the case looked funny (it came up over the screen more than it should). The black soft rubbery material had pulled away from the white harder material on that corner. A little super glue fixed it, but thought I would let others know. Still OK for a total of $5.99. If anyone finds a quality TPU/rubber type bumper case, please post a link.
good find...just bought one!

I sent mine back a week or so ago.. I didn't really like the moto logo exposed and thought it could allow dirt/dust to get in between the case and the phone .. I went with a case that covers the whole back..

Interested in how you fixed the buttons. That's the only thing I don't like with this case
Nice pictures. But...
I absolutely hated this case personally. Makes the phone feel huge and bulky, just cheap overall. The sides don't fit very well (bow out) -- flimsy plastic, buttons are a loose plastic mess, it's bulky and feels cheap. Just not worth the price tag when compared to other cases.
@Ellingsoc .. I'll have that video posted in a few days. You will love how much nicer the buttons become.
@Andromjb.. Was the bowing because of the way the bumper was seated on the tpu case? It took me a while before I got the fitment to be perfect because I didn't realize the two pieces weren't in place correctly
Can you explain it haha these buttons are driving me nuts
I really want people to go to the video for that info. But I'll PM you.

Could have just been my particular case as I applied it multiple ways, but it never fit 100% correctly no matter how hard I tried.
Bottom would always bulge leaving the plastic rough to touch while handling (on the upper backside area by microphone). Top was a tedious task of maneuvering the soft rubber backing to fit correctly without getting stuck underneath the outer plastic shell. Plastic sides were flimsy. Unappealing loose cheap plastic buttons which were always in the way.
I was always accidentally hitting/pressing the volume rockers or turning the screen off while just trying to hold the phone.
Just bad design, imho.
Try out a Ringke MAX. You'll see a major difference in quality and features for the same (actually cheaper) price point.
the way i put the case on was to first align the bumper and tpu perfectly. Then I would hold the left and right sides firmly and put the phone in bottom side first. Snap the top corners in while pressing the phone downwards to the bottom of the case. Works perfect every time so far!
@Ellingsoc .. I pm'ed you bout the buttons btw. Nothing shows in my sent box though. If you didnt get it send me a pm and ill respond to that one

I sent mine back a week or so ago.. I didn't really like the moto logo exposed and thought it could allow dirt/dust to get in between the case and the phone .. I went with a case that covers the whole back..

I have a clear back protector on my phone, then this case. Any dust or dirt that gets in will just mess up the plastic film

I would appreciate the info via PM also. Don't see the secondary video posted yet. Doesn't my seniority here afford me that?
Even in the pictures you have taken with your case, it is showing a minor glimpse of what I was experiencing. I think you may have gotten a better quality case from manufacturing or perhaps they have made stealth revisions since as mine was a lot worse even with proper applications.
See attachment below -- which was the rough touch edge I referred to from previous comments.
that really just looks like it wasnt clipped in fully. but i could be wrong.
And i shot a quick video of the button fix. will be posting it in maybe 20 minutes

It's just the way the case is designed. It goes on a bit too snug, so it leaves some parts a bit uneven which returns poor results and rough edges.
I'm not trying to say the case is terrible. I just want people to be informed of the certain flaws and quality before they end up spending $19+ while they have other options available for less.

I loved this case for my S4. I thought it actually made the buttons feel better! But for this phone...well let's just say I use a Rinke slim now.
