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.

dude.. where do you get the "right" GS2 case with the "right" mesh holes??
because mine doesn't have the name plate, but has mesh holes all along the bottom and definitely does not fit correctly!!

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.

I would like to post the dimensions of both phones. I have seen a lot of eBay and other 3rd party manufactures claim that if it works for the International version it will work for the AT&T version. That is plain false. When looking up these accessories take this in mind. I have posted these in inches because the AT&T site has it and I picked up the International version via Wiki.
International (Euro) Version: (4.93")H x (2.60")W x (.334")D
AT&T Version: (4.96")H x (2.60")W x (.35")D
Now you might be able to squeeze one of those gel protectors on, but it will probably look bad. I believe AT&T stores and some Best Buys will have at least one type of protectors for them on Sunday.
Hope this helps.

Honestly why would there be any difference in size? Would it be because the AT&T version has a row of capacitive buttons? I was honestly hoping that accessories for the AT&T version would work with the international version.
White iPhone vs Black iPhone dimension. At&T vs Verizon iPhone dimensions....yep

It's little bit different. This version has NFC chip.
My store has the otterbox commuter for the international s2. Fits the at&t model perfectly, although the hole for the noise cancellation mic on the top of the phone is offset.

They will fit, the problem is the i777 has a noise cancellation mic on the top which the i9100 cases will cover.

In addition, a lot of them seem to have openings for the lanyard loop and sometimes for an antenna that the AT&T version both don't have. The antenna opening is pretty much the entire top right corner, so it would be weird to have that there and not provide any functionality (if anything removing functionality if it's going to be exposing an entire corner).
International Version cases will work... with modification.
I can confirm that cases for the International version seem to fit the AT&T version just fine. The slight size difference doesn't seem to matter, although there is one stipulation that must be taken into consideration...
The secondary microphone hole that is located on top of the phone near the 3.5mm jack is a few mm off from where it is located on the international version. I have attached pictures to demonstrate where it is off, and show the slight modification I had to make to my Incipio case for it to work. I had to to the same with a cheap TPU case I also purchased to try out.
Outside of that 5min adjustment w/ an razor blade, the case goes on and off just fine and doesn't seem overly tight on the phone. This is pretty much going to be a temporary case for me until something better comes out. I would really like the BodyGlove Mirage cases that AT&T sells at their stores to release for this phone. I have one on my Captivate, and one on the wife's Infuse, and they are great cases.
I have a Case-Mate Barely There case for the international sg2, can confirm it fits the AT&T version perfectly, except for that little offset where the noise cancellation mic at top, as others have mention re: other cases. Not a big deal to me, as I hardly use the phone as a phone (ha ha) and when I do, it's usually with Bluetooth speaker in the car, or headset.
I also have the CM Tough Case (similar to OtterBox commuter), but haven't tried it yet. My guess would be that it will also be a perfect fit, save for the offset mic at top. Since the base layer of the case is silicone, should be easy enough to cut cleanly with a razor to make the adjustment.
SGP's site says the cases for the international version of the Galaxy S2 are compatible with the AT&T and Asian version. This is great news as these are very high quality and stylish cases. I e-mailed them about whether or not a different screen protector would come with the case as it doesn't have the home button but either way I know what I'm getting!
http://www.sgpstore.com/cell-phone/samsung/galaxy-s2.html
The phone is longer and thicker. Get it at you own risk. There is another thread that talk about the dimensions.
I've been told on another forum that a member who works for AT&T and already has the phone has confirmed the fit of the SGP. (pretty sure)
I have an incipio tpu ish case on mine...
Fits perfect but it looks like the 2nd microphone on top is covered.

It may fit, but the noise cancelling mic on the AT&T GS2 is not aligned in the center like on the international version. If the case has a small hole for the mic you would have to poke a different hole if you use it for the AT&T GS2.
Email from SGP
We are in the process of making screen protector for ATT version Galaxy S2, and we will have them in about next week.
For the cases, please allow 1-2 weeks to find out if they are going to be compatible with our lineup.
Please email us if you have any other question.
SGP Screen Protectors are already available on their site.. unless it's not ready to ship?
Got this email today, asking about cases.
We do not know if we are going to make cases for ATT Galaxy S2 at this moment.
Please check back our website next week for future update.
Thank you.
SGP just removed their statement on their website about the our At&t version being compatible. Glad I just went with the casemate

They did that because they now have an "AT&T version" the only difference between these two are that the AT&T version has an AT&T compatible screen protector so not the biggest deal.
I just got my SGP Ultra Thin Air case in the mail today. Although the case was obviously made for the international version, it fits very nice (with the addition of both the case liner stickers that are included). Most importantly, the second mic is NOT blocked.

One of the SGP case is out for AT&T version

Guess the case is the same as the galaxy version except we get the AT&T version of the screen protector..

Not sure if I want to wait for the Neo Hybrid Ex or just get the ultra thin one. Pretty weird how it says the ultra thin case blocks the microphone when it doesn't get anywhere near either microphone.

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.
cellular factory.com/find/index.php?qry=Plastic%20Bumper%20Frame&fq=cat:%22SAMSUNG%22
Take out the space in cellular factory
Apply "CVDQY4" for free shipping.
Yeah but that's for the international sgs2. I'm worried picking one up for the international version because the dimensions are different.

It will fit, just that it will cover the top noise canceling mic, won't effect it too much. You can always drill/poke a hole if you want.. lol
http://www.trait-tech.com/s.ashx?skey=bumper&s_ok=Search
I purchased the one for $3.79. Standard shipping was only $4 so even if it doesn't fit I am only out $8. Only thing is its like a three week shipping time so it will be a while before I can give you feedback.

According to them, yes. Just that if you order international version, they will give you the international version screen protector.. They're slowly repackaging all/most of their international version cases for AT&T.

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.
