Lack of Accessories for At&t sgs2 - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777

I am pretty dissapointed with the lack of accessories for this phone. Extended battery made for this phone not the global is non existant. There is only a couple of cases. I can't seem to find a belt holster(no not a leather one, just a plastic clip and your phone locks in). Its just disappointed that our choices for accessories is crappy

eBay seems to have a lot of accessories.. Most of the International accessories are compatible with our phone.

TruCells are confirmed to not cause boot loops
The new hyperions are not going to cause boot loops
GtMax's don't cause boot loops
What kind of case do you want? A styrofoam case? A case made out of candy? If you don't like leather, plastic, aluminum, or metal, what do you want? Wood? Good luck with that bro

SGP cases aren't made for our phones. They don't even poke that extra mic hole for us. Everyone on the forum had to do it themselves. Most of the cases you listed are for the international version. Only casemate and seidio have something appropriate. And as for the cheap generic cases, that's exactly just what they are; I prefer real accessories with my nice gadget.

Dont get me wrong, Seidio does make some of the most high quality cases out there. I have had one for almost every one of my phones. My issue with them with this phone is that this phone is very thin and it fits in my hand, pocket, whatever so nicely, and it so light, but seidio;s cases are always thicker than i would prefer for at least this phone.
I wish seidio would make a battery for this phone already, they are usual good about having an extended battery and also battery charger for any new phones on the market. Another thing they dont have yet is a spring holster for just the phone(wo case). They have one but it is made to go with the surface case.

You can try this one I love it! No bulk added to the phone. Some people have complained about GPS issues but I have had none whatsoever . . . If you do take it back!

I picked up the case mate barely there and I love it. It doesn't make the phone any heavier or bigger and the texture of it is nice.

my fav is the black rubbery one from T-Mo... got it at launch date. I've tried others since and they always fail by comparison.
Also, you know there is a whole section on this right? You may want to check there.
If you need real protection, and want it to still look good, Otterbox is the way to go. I don't really notice the phone being any thicker, but the protection is superb, and it looks elegant, to me at least.
Sedio Innocase, great protection and adds minimal bulk.

Naked is the only way to be. I throw mine in my pocket with keys and what not, no scratches yet. I tried numerous cases but keep going back to nothing at all.
Naked maybe a good way to go. I still have concerns with scratching the back so I put an invisible shield full-body cover on mine and haven't looked back. Hate the bulk that is added from the other cases too.

Hands down its the Otterbox. Case closed haha! Only thing is its the "commuter" so its a pocket style. Otterbox dont make the "defender" for our vibrants so no belt clip but search the threadz someone posted a discount code. I used it too!

I wanted to go naked, but was too paranoid, so my solution was a Barely There case. I've loved it because it doesn't add any bulk, and has already saved my phone a couple of times from dinged corners.

the harder it is on the side and spends most time in ur pocket, it scratches that chrome side/corners of ur vibrant... i had body glove with my other fone.. not saying its a bad case, extra protection from dropping is good.. but it does scratches it over time.. try a cheap silicone and with a case/pouch or w.e u call them.
Otterbox not only does it not add bulk,you can still put it in pocket! I've tried all the silicone ones. The OBX combo has held up the best so far.
Sexyness + Strong as hell... otterbox
Got a $2 silicone rubber case from ebay and it works just fine...

I have one and am quite happy with it. I did cut off the flaps covering the USB and headphone jacks as they drove me nuts.
just got mine, they have a new version with the flaps and holes in the right place. its perfect for me- not too much extra bulk, but lots of protection
Cool. Plan to order one. Thanks for your insights.

no problem. also nice that it comes with an OK screen protector, although I'll probably put a Zagg on mine anyway
Does anyone know of a holster that would work with this? I'm really a big fan of the protective covers over the ports as I work in a pretty dusty environment. I have a Seidio surface case and holsterthat I'm currently using, but it has no protection for the ports whatsoever.

I got my Commuter in today and I really like it. It's much sleeker than the Casemate Pop I bought when I got the phone (although I like the Pop, don't get me wrong).
I had Commuters on my 3GS and have one on my 4S as well, so I'm not new to this case, only new to the SGSII version. I like how it flows with the back of the phone (makes pulling it out of my pocket easier since the "hump" at the bottom is still there). I also like how it covers the top of the face...the iPhone version doesn't have that and I like the protection. And it works great with my cheap screen protector (although I'll probably put the Otterbox screen protector that came with it on).
This is definitely a great case for the SGSII since it's highly protective and doesn't add much bulk to the phone at all. The one reason I always go with the Commuter for my phones is the built-in port covers and these don't disappoint.
Highly recommended!
Got my Otterbox Commuter today in the mail as well. Loved it on my Captivate and love in on my SGSII. My favorite case by far.
Getting a ZAGG today as well. Love them too.

Got mine from:

Got it in 4 days.
I'm liking mine. The only gripe I have is that the rubber makes it not slide in and out of a front jeans pocket as easy, kinda sticks to the pocket material.
I just got mine. Seems nice except for the top rubber part doesn't lie flush on the phone. It's like the case is ever slightly too tall or too wide, and it could have been avoided if it were designed be symmetrical instead of having the extra material on the top of the phone.
For clarity, this is what I'm talking about: youtube.com/watch?v=KwNISYXJ3QI&t=3m49s
Kind of a bummer, but I doubt most people will care.
I just wish it had a holster like the defenders do. I love otterbox cases.

I have this case and I've got to say that I feel it makes the note too bulky. It certainly adds as much protection as you would ever need although. And maybe I'm doing something wrong but when i take it off, I feel like I am going to break my phone in half. Its very hard to take off which I do often for battery pulls. Ya know?
Anyways. Just ordered some "slim" case off amazon one of the top rated ones. Should be here in a bit and I'll try that one out.

Ballistic cases in my opinion are the BEST out there! Period. The have a bit of bulkiness due to the amount of protection they provide, but still feel nice in your hand. Coming soon I hope!

If you want a case close to otterbox quality, then get a Reiko case off Ebay. It 10 buck cheaper, but feel like 35.

Seidio Active Holster

Can someone please do me a favor and check the fit of a naked Note in the holster?
I know tbe website says its for use with the Active case but it has been my past experience that many times a naked device will still hold nice and secure in other holsters like this..
I never use a case and have never had a single issue and I always use Seidio holsters..
Thanks in advance for any and all replies..
This has already been discussed. The Naked Note will not hold securely in the Seidio holster.

I have this case, in black not purple. It will not work with a nekid Note. The case is two pieces. One is a holster and the other holds the Note. A bare Note will fall out of the holster. It is a decent case\holster combo, especially for the price.
Thanks for the responses.. I'm kind of shocked that nobody makes a holster for a naked Note..

Works really well.
In real life it looks much better than the pics
I will be leaving sprint at the end of July and going to ATT and the note is the number one device on my list. I was wondering if anybody had tried a naked note with an extended battery in the seidio holster to see if it would fit securely since it is fatter.

Recommendation for battery cover that is not too "smooth"

The original Galaxy Note battery cover is too "smooth" and I am afraid that one day it will SLIP out of my hand and break the phone. Does anyone have any recommendation for a replacement battery cover?
I searched eBay, Amazon, etc. but haven't seen anything. I see a LOT for Galaxy Note 2, though.

i can personally state that gel cases are durable, non bulky, and provide the best grip IMO. I get a gel case for every phone i own. I havent seen any custom doors outside of the extended battery covers. I suggest a gel case.
