Has anyone seen any decent wallet cases for the AT&T version? I saw a few on eBay but some of them look rather cheap. Anything?
Someone made a another thread identical to yours but it seems like they didn't have much luck as they weren't satisfied with the resulting purchase.

My advice, try searching on the other Galaxy S2 forums.

Or this one.

I think that's more of the type of case you're looking for however.. but obviously these aren't specifically made for the i777 but maybe you'll get lucky.
I wouldn't worry about the secondary microphone hole being blocked, phone calls are just fine on mine "my case blocks secondary mic hole."

So I had been looking for a good armband for the AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II and I couldn't seem to find any decent ones. The only decent one I had found was for the International Version of the GSII. I thought this would be a slight issue since it wasn't for the AT&T version, but then I realised that they are pretty much the same size. My biggest concern was build quality and all the ones on Amazon seemed to be very low quality overall.
I began the search to try to get the Belkin Dual Fit in the states since they only sell it on their website in Australia. I did manage to find it on sale through Expansys but they didn't have a listing on their site for the states. Changed the domain and bam I found it available for delivery.
Here it is if you want to order it
It arrived this morning to my job so I haven't had a chance to work out with it, but I will say, the build quality is very nice. It's a well built device that seems to be meant for just a slightly larger device. There is a bit of give in the case, though that could be because the Dimensions are just slightly off for the device.
Getting the phone into the case is a bit difficult since the plastic front does stick to the phone itself. I found it easiest to pull the plastic away from the face as inserting. Seems to work best. It also is quite difficult to remove the phone from the case as well. The headphone jack does line up perfectly with the phone though that isn't a big selling point for me since I use Bluetooth Headphones exclusively. The other design aspect is since the International GSII has the speaker port in a different spot, the hole in the back doesn't line up, but I didn't notice any real issues there soundwise.
One BIG design issue (which is related to not having a proper armband for the device, is turning on the screen, you actually have to press in on the case blindly to hit the power button. Took a couple times for me to find it, but it is not easy to do off the arm. If the case is on your arm it is much easier to work with. The case does seem to have a spot on it to store your headphones as well, a small little pocket, maybe that's for cash, I'm not really sure.
Overall the case isn't half bad, and I'm sure the plastic/neoprene will stretch out slightly over time to fit the device better.
Searched to see if anyone had mentioned this yet, but didn't find anyone talking about it:

I am very interested in this case. Will probably order one, but was hoping someone had tried one already and could give their thoughts on it. You can see my thoughts on the extended battery I already have at this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24815396&postcount=14
I think this power case option looks much better than the lump I have now.
I really like the idea of putting the extra battery capacity into the case. I saw this a long time ago for the iPhone, and was hoping that someone would come out with this for our phone, and they did, but not as nice as some I have seen for the iPhone. I would like one that wrapped around onto the face a little bit, for some protection when I put the phone face down.
Anyone seen any other companies making similar ones for our phone yet?
The case you linked is for the wrong Note. Look for the I717 (ATT Note), not the N7000 (international version).
There is a difference in the back design between the two phones.

This doesn't replace the battery door, so it should work fine. Unless you know of some other difference I am not aware of. I have used about 3 different international versions of bumpers/surrounds/cases on my i717 without any issue. A problem only happens when you try to use the wrong battery door.
I think it will fit perfectly on the US note. It is simply a case and all cases i have bought so far weren't for the US note but fit perfectly.
If this is good quality then this is something I might look at too. I like the fact that it will add more battery life and protect the Note in one item. Please post how it works once you get it.

Is it additive?
So plug this on the back and I get 5700 mAh? Since it doesn't replace the back cover, see no difference between International and US version.
Don't buy it i bought one it doesn't have that size battery, if you open it up it actually has a 2000mah battery so it really is a 1600 may since its Chinese i bought one for my galaxy s2 from same guy and the battery was half the size stated on case. Pure junk

I use tpu cases on both my main phones (mytouch 4g slide & amaze). I regularly put my DL, debit card and cash hidden away on the backside of the phone under the case. After going through my emails one of the Daily Steals items caught my attention. A wallet case that I didn't know was the answer to my problem...but for a different phone
I am seriously digging the iLid Iphone case and was wondering if anyone has ever seen anything remotely close for the Amaze.... and I'm not talking the ugly leather/fake leather looking things...
http://www.ilidiphonewallet.com/
They don't make them for the amaze I have looked everywhere for something similar but no dice, most of the multiple use cases are made for the iPhone, which sucks.
It's not like the iLid but its a wallet style..lol

They make another one that flips from the side.
that thing is an abomination.
^^^I could not agree more with you on that one!
Are you looking for something like this?

I've never used a wallet case, but I'm thinking I want to try it to limit the number of things I need to bring with me. Anyone try a good one?
Search for the original htc flip cover case. Resembles the wallet case, although there's no magnetic clip to close, but it allows the device to be charged with the case closed.

You don't know what brand, do you? A search for that brings up literally like 400 things in Amazon, and they're all similar but none that stand out. ideal features:
-Can charge and/or use headphones
-Easy in/easy out
-Relatively slim
Sorry for the late reply, was out of town.
This is the case I have, HTC HC V701 is the model number, if you search on amazon/ebay you'll get some results. It comes in black and white covers (although I only found the black one at 25 bucks on amazon), shell is always white/semi transparent.
It has all those features you mention, only drawback is it does not feature a magnetic clip to close the flip cover, as some wallet/book cases do.
I uploaded some pics here after I got it, hope it gives you a general idea.

I'm not sure however if this will fit the AT&T version, with all the slight differences between models you may have to check this out before buying them :/

Thanks man! Only issue is that it doesn't look like it includes the "wallet" portion for me to store some cash and credit cards in when I don't want to carry a separate wallet, but I might give it a shot.
If anyone has recommendations for cases that include wallet slots I'd be interested in hearing them, too.

I went through my amazon history and I bought this one february 20th and its still going.
Its less than $2 and $3 for shipping so its pretty cheap I might buy another.
The corners of mine cracked about 3 weeks in with the case but are still holding the phone in. I have dropped it a time or two and the phone has never fallen out.
At the max you can fit 4 cards and 5 bills so this might be the only drawback.
I would recommend this im deciding if I should buy another or just use it till my contract expires this fall.
thanks! the one on amazon looks nice!
I'm finally gonna get a wallet case for my Note 3. The only problem is that the only one that has all of the features I want/need is from a website i'm only vaguely familiar with (aliexpress). I think they are connected to Alibaba, which I have ordered from before, but i'm not sure. I know the case is probably not going to be the best quality, but that's ok.
Has anyone used this website before? Is it legit and safe?
