Sweet cheap cases - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777

Got her for 5 bucks on amazon. Fits perfectly and looks awesome. Very thin low profile i like it. Best way to get the whole for the mic is a small nail and a lighter, get it hot goes through like butter

Picked up this too for 3 bucks fits perfect too.

too many...i think not

Got any pics of the solid black TPU case? Bought the $35 TPU case with leather from ATT today and am regretting paying that much.

All of those have to be modified to open up a hole for the noise cancelation mic.

$16.99 Free Shipping.
More of a skin than a case. Really nice feel/texture. Fits like a glove. Not loose, baggy, or bulky.

I have both of these. The case is okay but the buttons are very hard to press. Fit is decent. I am taking my case back. The screen protectors are good. Fit is good but takes some work to make it perfectly aligned so they don't bubble on the edges.

I would rather modify a sweet case then choose from the few unattractive ones available any day.

I have these on the way from ebay - $16 and $6 respectively.

"case_ology" got loads of i777 specific cases, they say...
and yes, i do love orange!
-=s=-

I also purchased the 3$ case from Amazon (with shipping). Very good fit. Too bad I was walking to the mailbox to get the case and dropped my phone! ahh... At least I didn't crack the screen.

Just got my ringke GS2 ATT case from today and its awesome. There is also a mic cutout for the noise cancellation mic. The texture and feel is nice and smooth. The case is very detail and it is really slim. Loving this thing on my phone. I might just get the screen protector too.

I've had this one for a little over a week now and love it. It's the highest quality TPU case I've tried on anything so far. The trim around the bezel fits tightly, there's a top mic cutout for AT&T, and the volume button overlay is easy to press. The power/wake button is just a cutout, which both makes it really easy to find and push but hard to accidentally press in a pocket. There were a couple of spots where there was a little extra material, but nothing an x-acto couldn't fix quickly.
$9.90 and Prime eligible for the matte version and screen protector.

just got the $3 case from amazon its a perfect fit too. just need to mod the noise canceling mic part poke with a hot needle shud work.
but its too glossy for my taste lol keeping it on the desk for now xD

Just wanted to second this case. Very good case!

Just bought that same case. can't wait to get it

I got that same tpu case from eBay. The only thing I don't like is that the volume rocker is really stiff and I'm contemplating cutting it off to reveal the actual buttons. Other than that really low profile and snug fit.

Good Rubberized Case

Looking for a good rubber case, even if just for the back and sides. The 2 piece full cover cases seem to make it a challenge when using the volume keys. Atleast that is what I have been seeing in photos, especially from ebay.
Also have any of you noticed how easily the silver / platinum colored camera bezel scratches on an OEM battery cover? This is my 2nd HD and both got scratched in the lower right corner if you are facing the main camera.
I just got the Capdase case and I love it. Very slim and offers good grip but not too much.

Mike, are the buttons ( power n volume ) easily accessed? $20 USD for a rubberized case tells me there should be more quality with this one ( which is a good thing )
The power and volume buttons are raised and put exactly where they need to be. You will have no problems with them.

Ordered one and will post when received

[Q] Rearth Ringke Slim

Has anyone tried the new Rearth Slim cases? I am considering buying it. I can't post links because i don't have enough posts, but just search Rearth
http://www.rearthusa.com/Galaxy-S-2-ATT-Ringke-Slim-_p_279.html
there's the link for anyone else who wants to take a look.
I haven't tried this one so I can't help you but I figured i would post the link for you.
ive had it since mid october...it was the closest to incipio because they didnt have a case out yet...its all i need...slim..one rubber piece..easy on and off...does the job for me...id go for incipio though..theres comes with screen protectors
I've had the rearth case for about 2 months, I like it except when I got it it was slightly loose not enough for me to care but now its loosened to the point where the case is starting to cover the camera and if I push it up the mic and lower speakers are halfway covered
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777
@nizda1:
Are you talking about the Ringke or the Ringke Slim? I have both. The Ringke is soft and pliable. I can see it loosening up. The Slim is quite rigid and snaps onto the corners of the phone. The top and bottom are covered, along with the corners, but the sides are exposed down to the controls. This is quite a slim case!
Yea I was, just checked out the slim looks nice, how do you like it?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777
Ooo, I kinda like this one! Can make our black units, pretty much white and it covers the whole back! But $25...
I've had it on since since day 1. Love it.
I like it better than anything I've tried to date. It's about the "least" amount of case that I've seen. About the only thing that I would change is that being glossy, the back is beginning to show some very minor scratching from being set down on hard surfaces. If Rearth offered it in a matte finish I'd be all over it.
Just bought that case in Noble Black. Will review it upon arrival.
i have used this case and the SGP Neo.
This case is excellent. It's as minimal as can be, fits well, and looks good.
Good case!
Good to hear fellas.
It'll be here tomorrow, according the tracking from the shipping. Anything I ever ordered that goes through the post service always arrives the day after it goes through this one center.
Is it a little sad that I'm mildly excited for this to come?
Guys just to let you know after three months of having this case with my Atrix it was stretching out also the texture came off the case kind of like a clear coat coming off on a car

Nice find!
Just a quick question to anyone who actually has the case -- does it cover the top mic next to the headphone jack, or is the cutout correct for our version?

This, along with their newer silicone case for the i777 are supposed to have the correct placement for the noise cancelling microphone.
Just got mine in. It does have the mic cut out next to the headphone jack.
Just got mine. Overall I'm digging it. Case is thin and probably doesn't offer much in the way of protection buy that's the price to pay for looks. It being black shiny hard plastic I already see two scratches. Just got to make sure not have the case in the same pocket as my keys and ill be good.

htc droid dna cases

So I'm gonna upgrade to the HTC droid DNA in two weeks and have been trying to look for cases to buy for it. I saw a couple good ones that I'll most likely get but I'm a little bit bummed that there's not that many cases out there for the DNA.I've looked at amazon and eBay and both of them are selling about the same cases as the other kinda wish there was more selection cases for this phone..
But..all in all I'm excited to upgrade to this phone
I got the one they sell at the Verizon store its pretty nice got a kickstand. I don't use the holster.

I'm really, really happy with my seido surface. It's pretty thin and doesn't hide the sleek shape of the phone, but it still protects the screen somewhat and I feel like my phone is safe using it.
I'm thinking if getting the incipio feather case http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00AMAJCTS/ref=mp_s_a_1?qid=1361761617&sr=8-1&pi=SL75 trynna look for the cheapest place I can get it though either that or the diztronic case http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00A9YJ48Q/ref=mp_s_a_1?qid=1361761751&sr=8-1&pi=SL75
Or maybe this http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00A7HYB3S/ref=mp_s_a_1?qid=1361762044&sr=8-3&pi=SL75 its an aluminum sticker like that covers the whole phone I'd figure this can act as my case at the same time keep the full feel of the slim design of the phone

Free if anyone in the Bay Area wants to teach me how to root the DNA.
I got the Seidio surface case too, I dont like the form factor as much as the Feather, the feather is more stylish IMO, the color on the Seidio is clearly superior but the case is thicker so it adds more bulk. I wish the feather came in red.
One thing to make sure on DNA when purchasing a case is that it has a hole on back so you can see the rear notification light....a lot of cases on the market don't have the extra hole...

Does anyone wirelessly charge their DNA with the case on? I have an otterbox commuter case and have zero issues other then the charging. I noticed the DNA gets hot but then I noticed the rubber inner liner of the case. Anyone else have this issue?
just got the poetic palette slim case. nice fit, all the right holes (lol), very sleek. not much for protection if you drop the phone, but thats not going to happen (knock on wood)

I realize this case is two pieces, a silicone piece and an outer hard shell. Is this hard shell metal or plastic? This case looks amazing, I've been eyeballing the red and black one to match the phones aesthetics, but the price is kinda steep. Thanks
Also one last thing, how much space is left around the headphone jack? My headphone jack has a wide plastic surrounding that doesn't allow me to insert the headphones all the way into the port while the case is on.
---------- Post added at 06:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:14 PM ----------
The first case I got was the Diztronic. This was an excellent case, very very snug, it looks great and provides great protection. I also use a screen protector and I found out that the Diztronic fit so snug that it pushed up the edges of the screen protector. If you cut the corners of the screen protector this can remedy this problem. Another issue I found with the Diztronic was the headphone jack. I use Shure SE215 headphones, the jack input is very wide. With the case on the headphones wouldn't stay fully inserted. I did however find it very easy to cut the case around the headphone jack to allow the input to stay seated properly.
I've moved on to the Body Glove Dropsuit, this case is awesome. Like the Diztronic, it looks great, provides superior protection, allows access to the power and volume keys very easily (almost too easy), microphone and speaker cutouts and allows me to use an edge to edge screen protector. I've been using this case for several weeks now.
Note that both the Diztronic and the Body Glove DO NOT have a cut out for the notification light on the back of the phone.
Hope this helps!
Seidio Surface
I got the Seidio Surface case in black (not gonna worry about photos, I'm sure several exist on here or the web), and I am overall happy with it. It fits very nicely, doesn't add a lot of bulk, and all features are visible (lights and stuff).
One thing I am very happy about is the fact that it makes the power and volume buttons a little harder(?) to press. This makes me less likely to inadvertently run the ringtone volume down to silent just by picking up the phone, and I can put it into my backpack or lunch bag without pressing the power button and turning the screen on.
One slight irritation is that it caused the screen protector - which completely covers the screen - to bubble up on the edges where the case touches the screen edge, but that is minor - I could just trim the screen protector a little, if I was so inclined...
I like this case.

I have the Otterbox defender. No worries about the safety of my phone. It also feels thin because it's way thinner than my old bionic case.

Spigen Slim Armor

Today I received my Spigen Slim Armor w/Air Cushion Technology. Sorry, I wanted to post a link to the Amazon page so everyone could see what it looks like, but you will all have to Google/Amazon it
First impression is that it fits snug and has great cutouts. There is a full rubber cover and then a hard shell that wraps over the middle portion of the rubber cover. The hard shell is a bit slippery but overall it is a well put together case and leaves more than enough space for a tempered glass screen protector. The only unfortunate thing about this case is that there is a hole where the buttons on the back of the phone are, really wish there was a cover for the buttons as well but I have yet to see such a case, like the Otterbox cases for the LG G2.
Overall it is a good case and worth the price.
I purchased this case a the Verizon store when I got my phone, overal great case offeres good protection while keeping the phones slimness, just an fyi if you order the white one it has like a shimmery look, my wife says It looks like it's for a woman
I have this case too and I like it. FYI the white case is just as shimmery as the OEM white backplate. Hell, Spigen calls it "Shimmery White..." Oh and it's $9.99 right now.

Ohh that one. I actually have that one too...LOL. I couldn't decide so I got both. AND then I saw the post for the OEM LG Slim Guard case (http://www.expansys-usa.com/lg-slim-guard-case-for-lg-g3-white-262017/) and bought that too. So now I'm going to have 3 cases and 2 OEM Qi enabled cases....:silly:
I have the charcoal one and love it! Back isn't slick to me...unlike the protection and slimness
I have the Spigen Slim Armor in Metal Slate and I'm extremely happy with it. Low profile, lightweight, and the cutouts are spot on.
I bought the Incipio Dual Pro case at the store when I got my G3, and I consider the Spigen to be much better. While the Dual Pro does seem to protect the phone very well, the ridges along the side are so high and protrude so far onto the face of the phone that it makes it nearly impossible to swipe from the left to access the menu in most apps. Even though I have huge hands, I find it a challenge to hit the upper left part of the screen with my right thumb on the G3, so using the swipe from the left side is essential to me. It's not an issue with the Spigen Slim Armor, as it does not extend far enough onto the face of the phone to get in the way. :good:
Which one of the Spigen's do you like better?
I'm also rocking this case.. overall i'm happy with it. Very slim and fits snuggly.
Only downfalls are the back is a little slick. not a big deal. Theirs not covers over the buttons, on my g2 I had a balistics case that covered the buttons which was nice. The only thing that really bothers me about this case is where the ubs and headphone jacks plug in. the edges on the case are somewhat sharp. I hold my phone in a way that it rests on my pinky finger, and its irritating to say the least. Maybe its just me and my big hands..
Just picked up this case as well as I can't stand the built in screen protector on my Supacase Beetle Unicorn due to the dead spots. So going naked for the screen, but will have this case on it. My wife has one on her g2 and always liked how it felt.

How is the white color holding up. Every white case I have after a few weeks it turns brown or black. I cant stand it.
For the sharp edge on the pinky finger just get some 1000 grit sand paper and take the edge off. Helps a lot.

Mines pulls away too. Thought it just was the way it was due to the screen getting so close to the edge and the case not having much to hold on to.
Great Protection BUT
I purchased the Slim Armor case. Really like the look and the fit (stays in place and doesn't cover the screen). My only issue is the depth of the power and volume keys. With the case, they are recessed almost 1/8th of an inch. This makes it harder to use both.

I disagree about the recessed buttons. I find it makes it very easy to find the buttons and avoid touching the camera lens. Also, I have long skinny fingers and am able to use the device comfortably with one hand. This phone isn't for people with small hands...

If you're looking for a transparent case then look into Spigen Ultra Hybrid or Ringke Fusion.
Ringke Fusion is not shipping until next week though. I'm using the Ultra Hybrid, I like the colors and its a nice case. Although I think I'd like the buttons to be separated so it'd be easier to see which key is what.
I have decided on the spigen slim armor in gunmetal. Sadly I dont have my nexus 6 yet but the case looks and feels awesome. I just fear that the vertical stand will break after a while but thats just a guess...
Ringke by far is my favorite just because the buttons are made a little better then the spigen.
I have been quite happy with the spigen slim armor. Mine has none of the QC issues the Amazon reviews have mentioned. My kickstand has never fallen out and I don't know how it ever could with the phone in the case. I think most of the overly negative reviews on the kickstand were from people who reviewed it before they even had the phone. The phone fits perfectly and is easy to get out. The one issue I do have with it is the flat buttons. It is virtually impossible to know which button you are about to press without looking which is kind of annoying. If they modify that I will buy a new one. I'd be happy if the Slim Armor had the button of the neo hybrid.
I used one of those slim Ringke cases on my nexus 5 and it scratched the corners of my phone when I removed it so I'll never use that brand again. I know this phone is different so maybe that's no longer an issue but once is enough for me.
Edit - I see you said you want a transparent case. That means my comments can be disregarded, lol...

Ringke by far is my favorite just because the buttons are made a little better then the spigen.

Agreed and the buttons on the N6 are separated which prevents miss taps, its still not available for sale yet though. Using the Ultra Hybrid for the time being. Not sure how I feel about the caps on the N6 ports for the Fusion, they didnt use to have them.
Ringke for cases definitely. I have both for the N5 and for the N4 and Ringke does feel slimmer and very well made.
Spigen for Screen Protectors.
I ordered the Ringke Fusion Crystal
Pics of Spigen Ultra Hybrid with Spigen Ultra Crystal Screen Protector
I'm sure by now you've already obtained your case, though I thought I'd post some pictures of the Spigen (Crystal Clear) Ultra Hybrid along with a Spigen Ultra Crystal Screen Protector.
As you can see, it shows off the device, but still achieves maximum protection. The Case is a hard shell on the back, and soft rubber along the sides. Both are clear.
I haven't had any issues with the buttons on the case. If anything, the button placement on the actual phone will take some getting used to, though they are situated halfway down for a reason.
Enjoy!
P.S. These pics were taken from my iPhone 5S. Unfortunately.....
how is he mic hole placement. i have been thinking about buying one of these. it just all the reviews don't talk about making calls with the case on. it almost looked like the case covered up some of the mics.

Anyone have this case? I like the minimal approach and lack of bulk. We'll see when I get it though

I am using this case right now and really enjoy it. No issues with QI, NFC and it offers great protection for the minimalistic design. Case is very sturdy and fits like a glove. The only small gripe I have with it is the buttons. While they are very tactile it is very difficult to distinguish power from volume. Other than that its great.
I did order the ringke fusion, which is the basically the same case. The biggest differences between the spigden and the ringke I saw were plugs where the cutouts are, it comes with a screen protector AND the power button and volume rocker are much more pronounced (easier to distinguish) in my opinion. Both cases are great and if your curious about the other, here's a link.

Are those button cutouts or are they flush with the case (built in buttons)

Mic hole placement is aligned perfectly. Nothing is covered, not sure if the picture shows that.

They are flush, and built into the soft rubber material. I know many people are having issues with the button placement, but it hasn't been a problem for me. It's quite simple really, top is power, bottom is volume down, that leaves the middle for.... You guessed it! Haha

Cut out is practically perfect, yes. See attached or full gallery here.

Haha, thanks. I've been an Android user since the G1. The iPhone is for work. FIgured since ALLLL of my personal devices have been Android, might as well try somethign different.
To be honest, I barely even touch my iPhone other than for responding to e-mails on the go, and emergency work calls. It was cool and interesting for about 2 days, though I will probably upgrade to the iPhone 6S plus when it becomes available (for work of course).
Spigen Perfect/Thin Fit VS Ringke SLIM
I have both the Spigen Perfect/Thin Fit and the Ringke SLIM cases in black. I started with the Spigen but didn't like the way the Motorola logo was the centerpiece of the back of the phone and also the case kept 'unclicking' out of position on the phone when it was in my pocket (so far in only 3 days this has happened around 5 times)... so I looked for an alternative and found the Ringke SLIM. I have to say I much prefer the Ringke, it's simple, it has very subtle branding (no cutcouts for motorola logo on the back either) and the cutouts for the inputs are nicer. It also has cut outs at the stress points that make it a bit more durable (less chance of the plastic breaking or the case stressing in general). Also, so far the Ringke has been rock solid and hasn't moved an inch on my Nexus 6. The only thing I miss from the Spigen is the soft touch black coating... but considering the other issues I had, this is perfectly acceptable.
I got the spigen neo hybrid, it's OK but makes the phone feel bulky and makes the screen bezel look huge. Also the buttons could be better designed, the nexus 6 has a smaller textured button and a longer volume button, spigen went for 3 buttons all the same size with no texture and in my coat pocket it's hard to get the right button to change volume when listening to music.
