Hope this helps.
Check out "InvisibleShield" by a company called Zagg. There are application videos on youtube...
Thanks for your response but let me rephrase, I want your opinions on what's a good case for my needs if someone owns one that they personally feel meets those or similar needs thats what I want. Thanks for the links I checked threads on different cases but i found that most are bulky for the more hard shell ones that have a tight fit, the thinner ones seem to not fit very flush n be a little loose. I only found one that seems to fit but it interferes with the volume buttons and is not very snug and its the diztronic case. Also I don't like the invisishields from zagg they feel awkward and the corners usually come up and get dirty from my experience with them.

Well I have the TPU case on my phone right now and it fits like a glove and I even dropped it once and it was still in mint condition all the holes line up perfectly as far as a screen protector I just applied the xtreme guard screen protector a few minutes ago but so far can't even tell its on there. I got all of it the TPU case and the screen protectors for less then 15 dollars.

oh and the TPU case goes in and out of my pockets no problems and isn't bulky at all imo.

==> Based on OP, I think you are looking for the same as me. I have a Diztronic, it helps with screen edge and gives a little protection for the screen.
BUT, on my older desire, I got the Melkco Jaka type. 30$, but what a feel!!! very slim, good smells (real leather) and VERY GOOD protection.

Body Glove Amaze 4G Shell w/ Kickstand - Silver
all4cellular has some good pics of it, would post link but i am a n00b
The kickstand is nice, works vertical and horizontal, hard shell snaps on, does not come off easily.
I love this case I got from Ebay it is very strong hardcase, with soft rubber touch...It is very touch and does not disassmble when I dropped it on concrete..
http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270855293133&ssPageName=ADME:L:OU:US:1123
Very Very happy with it, happier than many other cases I paid much much for.
Since its so tough its hard to get open and thats why many cases now come with crowbar, My moms did, but It was 15 dollars...so I use hers...I used to use a nail clipper end to just pry open the case (there's a space to stick the crowbar into, I tried using my nails but couldn't get it open and messed up my nails and hurt my finger lol, you need something thats not sharp but shaped like a flathead screw driver to pry it open, this is the case with most hard cases today...I would highly recommend this case.

+1 for the D30 its s great case. Good protection, fits snug, and doesn't interfere with and of the buttons or ports
screw cases, htc doesnt mind replacing the device once you tell them you not happy with it+they replace every accessory once, so even if u scratch, dent the backplate you can still get a new one for free

I say it sure looks nice. If it is silicon inside and aluminum outside, should provide a lot of protection. Might add a good amount of weight.

That does look like a pretty sweet case. I especially noticed how, considering it's a cheap ebay case, the camera holes seem perfectly centered. On my $50 Defender the camera holes are slightly off center, makes me wonder what Otterbox's profit margin is (think Monster Cable). It does look nice and has some nice extras. One thing that concerns me is that it seems (through my past experience) that 2 piece hard plastic cases tend to come off the phone as soon as it hits the ground. I know the back is metal but the metal is attached to a hard plastic shell correct? Does it seem like it might come off easy? Just concerned because I had a hard plastic case on my OG EVO and the one time I dropped it the case popped right off and my EVO went skidding across the ground. Just hate to spend the money on a product that fails at the exact time you need it to do it's job.

The aluminum is adhered to what I believe is acrylic so that It's one piece. Its a snap on case. It fits tight. I'm not sure how easy its going to be to take on and off to swap batteries.

Does anyone know a good case with a kick stand? The most important features are just the kickstand and thinness. I know Casemate makes a great one, but it's way too thick.
This one seems okay:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/TPU-FoldOut...ccessories&hash=item2eb8015e60#ht_2188wt_1163
But I'd have to make a slight modification for the microphone, and most importantly, I don't know if it will fit. I'm quite weary of any of these cases that can fit both the international and ATT versions.
I bought my GS2 on launch day and ATT had 4 different cases in the store. Case Mate was the only one offered with a kick stand but it felt cheap so I opted not to get it. There was a nice leather case but none of them fit the phone, lol. Guess those will be sent back.

I've had this for about 3 days now. I think its called Minisuit
Pros: Thin, light, tight fit, good kickstand, cheap, quick delivery
Cons: no hole for secondary mic, generic micro usb rechargers have trouble given cutout (stock cable works fine)
Happy enough with it for now.

I was considering that one, but hard cases are more difficult to cut the mic opening.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium
Ok, I got the case.
Doesn't fit 100%.
The bottom in particular, but it's barely noticeable. The top mic needs to be cut out some more, which shouldn't be too difficult since it's not plastic.
Case actually looks a lot better than I expected. The kickstand is very flimsy, which I expected. Once you put the stand up, don't put any pressure on it. It's very likely to just snap off. The power button becomes pretty stiff, too.
They also ran out of minisuit keychain screen cleaners. They said if I want one, email them about how I feel my order is "incomplete without one," and they'll send one when they have more stock.
Kind of a weird way to make us word it.
Either way, I'd recommend this if you need a very sleek and thin case that doubles as a flimsy kickstand.
Just wanted to give you guys and gals a heads up about a new case. It's made by Seidio and looks and feels great on the phone. Adds a bit of bulk to the phone but comes with the holster. I'll try and get some pics up later tonight after the little one goes to bed. It goes for $34. 99 retail. My Best Buy got it in today so they should start being available soon.
Edit... Couple of pictures... Sorry the quality sucks.

The best buy platinum series cases are garbage in my opinion. They're the lowest quality case on the market. They're thick and look cheap. They remind me of the chinese cases they used to mass-produce for the clunkers in the 90s. This is one of Best Buy's most profitable skus in the store, so they hock the hell out of them.
Seriously though, this line is about the worst on the market. They beat the hell out of the back of your phone, and they're so incredibly thick, and have absolutely zero aesthetic charm. There are soooo many better cases and more worthey companies you can support, and get better protection from.

I bet you look like I did in best buy when I tried one on my phone and couldn't get it off. It took a long time and a few sales associates to figure it out.
Use something small and sharp to slide in the minuscule crack along the backside where it joins. Then push that tool down to un-notch it.
That was enough of a PITA for me not to buy the case.

I couldn't disagree any more. The cases are manufactured by Seido which has an excellent reputation online for quality cases. It is their "surface" case rebranded. I will say that the all black color is kind of plain and may not have the "charm" you desire, however I like the simple look. They have felt inside the case to protect the phone from scratching so I'm not sure why you stated it beats up the phone.
To each his own as they say...

this isnt the only case hard to remove. the otterbox cases are just as hard ive had it on 3 different phones the iphone, captivate, and the atrix 4g. u will have just as much trouble and the outside skin covering the hard case on the otterbox will stretch to where it wont stay on. the platinum seidio case i had on my nexus was 10x better than otterbox and the same price and had 3 layers of protection versus 2 for otterbox.
I have had this case for about a month now and love it. I've tried a bunch of cases including the armor shield and I keep coming back to this case. I think its incredibly light and adds almost no bulk. Plus the holster is awesome. The back is a little tricky to get off but after you find the right place to apply pressure to its easy. Took me a few tries but I can unsnap it no problem now. I do like the snap it makes it feel secure.
One note, don't try and put and armor suit on your phone then put it in this case. It will not come back out without some serious prying. I actually am impresses the case is still fully functional with no scratches or anything after I practically had to pry it from the sides of the phone.

I have used Seidio cases/holsters on my smart phones for the last 5 years. On Black Friday, I went to BestBuy and bought 2 case/holster combos for $45. One of these is $49 on the Seidio site. So now, when the holster spring cracks in 6 months, I still have a spare. Quick review.... The case is snug, fits perfectly, has all the correct cutouts, and is secure. And it is easy to get on or off once you get the "feel" for the clip on the back. The holster build quality is the best I have ever had from Seidio. They clearly are improving their product. I have no concerns of it falling off my belt, or popping out of the holster. And it is still easy enough to get the phone out with one hand.
I just got this case/holster at Best Buy today.
I've been a Seidio fan for several years now, this is my 3rd Seidio holster. The previous ones (for HTC Kaiser and HTC Rhodium) didn't require a separate case - they just held the phone "naked". I do like that this case has holes for both the I777 and the international version's placement of the noise-canceling mic.
But ... yeah, it's a bugger to remove the case from the phone until you get the hang of it.
For giggles, I tried out my SGP Neo Hybrid EX bumper case with the Seidio holster - it fits like a glove, so that's another option.
Cool, what kind of screen protector that you have on your phone?
I recently got the Otterbox Commuter case for my SGS2 and like the fit and feel of it but the rubber attracts alot of lint and dust. It collects around the earpiece and front camera and around all the exposed rubber; it's annoying quite frankly.
Does anyone else have a recommendation for an alternative case. I like how the size isn't crazy thick but that it still gives me good protection. I am outside alot and have 2 young boys. I kind of considered the thicker Wrapsol skin as well, anyone used it? Any help would be great.
Try taking a look at the trident aegis, I have one for my Inspire and I don't get as much lint as I do with the otterbox commuter on my s2, though it does it still, I haven't noticed it anyway

+1 for the Aegis. I have one, and it's awesome. Don't really notice lint at all.
Those has otterbox style but cheaper.

hmm those look interesting, have you tried them?
I may have to try out an Aegis, I do like how it doesn't have the part covering the top front of the screen like the Otterbox; I see where they were coming from but I've considered trimming it off. I've been dealing with the lint and such lately, I don't like it but maybe I can convince the wifey to let me try the Trident one out
aside from the lint on the aegis, how does it grip the inside of your pocket when you take it out? is it really grippy like the otterbox is?

Has the one with stand, little bulky but does seem protect the phone well.
I had the Otterbox on my cappy and liked it ok but didn't realy want to spend that much again when I know I will be upgrading every year or so. I did some searching here on XDA when I got the SGS2 and found a link to "Acase" on Amazon. I have no complaints and it was under $10.00 when on sale.

Just finished searching for the Acase on Amazon and I get nothing but iPhone results. Added the SG2 in the search and it returns nothing but battery stuff or some ballistic style case that is just gawd awful.
Would you mind sending or posting a link, I have been looking for a light case for my Sg2 but cannot find anything that I like that will keep it close to its original thinness - dont want to bulk it up by adding a thick case
Thanks in advance

Is this the link to that case? It looks like it doesn't have the right cut out for the Noise Canceling mic.
It doesn't, but you can't tell
If he can tell there is no cut out just by looking at some pics, I'm sure staring at your phone w/ this case on it will be very much noticeable.

+1 for the Aegis, I have been using for about 10 days, love it! It does collect some lint in my pocket, and since I am a landscaper, some grass too! Not a big deal to just rinse it off and let air dry and put back on. The reason I went with the Aegis, is because it has a screen over the speaker phone, unlike the otter box, I did just order the otter box to compare, Ill let you know, but now I am looking at the Acase. The screen protector that comes with the Aegis is pretty weak though, not sure what to do about that, I hate the orange peel, Invisashield.
-nevermind the Acase, doesn't cover port and plugs a must have for me!
You are right no covers for phone jack or usb and the mic hole is off a bit but I just made a new hole with a drill bit. works great

Great find...FREE SHIPPING TOO!!
But you guys have had good luck with the pop? I have had a really bad time with echo on the callers side with several other cases.

Red; do you have the case yet? If so, is the echo on the callers side an issue with this case. I want to order it before the sale goes off but have had so many problems with echo on other cases..I hate to waste even 5 dollars again.

Got it over the weekend and I haven't had any complaints about echo. However, this case is thick! It no longer fits in my desktop dock and almost doubles the thickness of the phone.

hmmm..
I think I'll go ahead and get it. It is still on sale as of today. I guess with free shipping the most i'll be out is 5.40 anyway. I don't use a dock and I am thinking a little thicker might not be a bad thing for my big hands anyway. I'll let you know how mine is when I get it.

I really like the case, its about the same thickness of my platinum series or "seido" case. It's very lightweight with the phone in the case. I like the design a lot and it fits nice in my hand. It doesn't really feel like rubber but more like plastic, although it IS in fact rubber. The leather and stitching is on point, it gives it a nice look and feel. The side treads? Gives the user a good grip. Ive seen a lot of reviews saying it is hard to put the case on, but for me it wasn't even close to.being difficult. For $5 its a steal. High quality case seems like it'll be able to go through many drops without any problems. One more thing it hugs the phone very snug so you can rest assure that the phone won't pop out and it will stay protected. Here's pictures:
The buttons on the sides arent bad btw. The case does not affect my screen protector (rise along the edges or corner). Heres the inside of the case:

Looks good. I did not think the leather would look good, but it works on that case. I may have to just order that one too.
thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the heads up no this sale. I picked up the leather one. The pics look good.
thanks for the share grabbed the agf ~

Thanks for the review and pictures. I was on the fence about getting yet another case (I have 3-4 ebay specials I swap in & out), but the pictures really make this look sharp.
Just ordered, $5 for a $18 case is a steal.
