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.
Sent from my SGH-I777 using xda premium
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.

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.

Thanks for the link and the info...I too got my SGSII on launch day and was disappointed at the lack of accessories and items available for the AT&T branded SGSII. I even have communicated with Body Glove about one of their cases (As I have been a fan of that one and used it on my Cappy and Infuse both) but they said they will not be producing a Body Glove case for our phone So I am going to try the above listed one and I will let you know. Maybe even post some screens and update the thread.

I bought this today instead of the leather case...
Its definitely not as bulky as I thought it would be (previous experience with the thrill and infuse pop cases) and the kickstand works great!
It also fits real nicely. The leather case seemed a little too tight and that it would require some effort to put in properly

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.
ny gs2 doesn't say Samsung or att on front.... only says galaxy S on back cover... is that supposed to be like that
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 ran across these on Ebay. not sure if they would fit out models or not but the black and silver ones look pretty slick.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Aluminum-Me...140?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item27bf5c59f4
and they kinda looked raised like the 2000mah battery covers do. (judging from the looks of the camera hole)
might order one after my Taurus bumper comes in.
anyone already tried one??
Hmm... the black and silver look pretty nice - but I'd expect the price to be a bit less for random parts coming out of Hong Kong. At least the shipping is free though.
Maybe I'll try one.
Well, according to this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1313054

over in the i9100 forum for the 2000mah battery+cover they show that the korean version fits but a few of the tabs that secure the side have to be dremel-ed off. im hopeinh since this is coming from korea also thats all ill have to do.
I'll keep you guys informed.
Hopefully they fit, if not they need something like this for our phones. Looks so sick!

I was look at buying this battery cover when I came across this thread. Seems to be the same as one in the original post, but it's a few bucks cheaper. Fingers crossed it works out!
Has anyone received this yet? Im curious if these it or will need a bit of modding

Confirming this DOES NOT FIT the ATT model. I bought this when I had brought my white SGS II International model back from Thailand, and had used it a couple days on that. they do look nice. But then when I switched to the AT&T model I sold the cover with it. Wish they'd fit the ATT model. The only thing that really concerned me was if the NFC would work through the back, but we likely won't have to worry about that since nobody seems to have any motivation to enable the NFC on our phones, hehe.
still hve not recieved mine. acording to the shipping info it is listed to be delivered on the 7th.
as soon as i get it i will let you guys know.
I am curious as well, I really like the look of these metal battery covers.
Ok. Just got mine out of the mail box. I appears to be a thin peice of aluminum adhered to a thin plastic back cover. But i can Confirm that...
It DOES fit the AT&T GSII..
snaps right on no problems. and looks awesome with my black Taurus Bumper
i'll snap some pics later tonight if i can.

You mentioned it was a metal cover over the plastic backing, does this make the phone thicker in any way? Is there now a ridge where the battery cover meets the plastic on the phone?
Looks good though!
Phone is very very slightly thicker.
Not sure about the ridge. Would have to remove my Taurus to see. Might when i get home

I am on the prowl for a case for my upcoming Samsung Note. I am having difficulty finding (of course) any cases that are made specifically for the AT&T Version.
Do we have any confirmation that the International Version and the AT&T LTE Version are in anyway different? Mic Placement, Etc?

From what I understand, device dimensions are the same, but no one has yet been able to say whether or not MIC placement is identical.
From the pics i have seen the Mic looks like it is in the same place but not sure about the 3 mm jack
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
I emailed SGP and one other case manufacturer to see if they are the exact same.
The microphone thing worries me
Edit: just compared two back shot pictures of the note. One international and one AT&T. The 3.5mm jack is in the same position.
i ordered an aluminum bumper from ebay. it should be here soon. ill update everyone when i get my note!
for aluminum bumpers, i dont see a problem with mic placement. or the 3mm jack. you can just mod them easily.
anyway, speck a couple of cases out. i have used the candyshells on my iphone for about 2 years now and have dropped it about a billion times. the phone is in good condition still so they work good!

As far as we have been told, the International and 4G LTE versions are identical in shape. The internals and weight are different, but cosmetically, they are almost identical. The only noticeable difference is the home button. The international version has a physical click home button but the AT&T version has a capacitance home button. This does not effect the cases shape. You can see images of the case we will have in stock (later this week) here:
Amazon ASIN: B0075WQ118 (introductory sale price of $4.95)
You should expect to see other colors (White, Clear, Blue, Red, Purple) in this style online in a matter of days. The Gloss and Matte versions will follow later next week. Let me know if you have any questions about this case.

Thanks...I see your case shows the AT&T Version with the capacitive buttons....guess that means your case should fit like a glove. I went ahead and ordered the white one figuring that if I didn't like it...i'd only be out 8 bucks.
On another note...(no pun intended).. I currently have an IPhone 4s and use a Credit card case like the one in the attached images... Since I've been an Iphone user since the very first one, I'm having difficulty finding decent cases for other phones (IE...Note).
Are there any cases like this out there for the Note?
TIA!
What are the holes on the bottom right of the phone? It is located on the backside of the phone directly across the speaker phone. I see some cases for the N7000 having the slots opened for it and some just covers it. Also most pictures of the International Galaxy Note does not have the holes there.. is this ATT only?
Thank you for clarifying that. Makes more sense, now I can shop with ease.
Cimo, thanks for the info. About to order this case right now.
Real quick, I don't suppose if you know if this will work with ProClip's vehicle mount for the note? I know they don't have much room for give so I was planning on going with no case on the phone . . . but I like the looks of this case and the deal is pretty hard to beat.
I just bought this one from Elago.
http://www.amazon.com/elago-Slim-Ca..._1_3?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1328640739&sr=1-3
I always used Elago with my iPhone 4. They're not the best at protection, but they're the thinnest short of a decal skin. For me, that's the most important thing on a big phone.
I bought the white, because I have the white note, but maybe I'll buy another color too later, or return the white. Hope it's not that tight, like the Amazon reviewer implies, but I don't plan on removing it ever.
This one seems to be thin enough too: http://www.amazon.com/elago-Handmad..._1_9?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1328640739&sr=1-9

They also have a padded thinner case like the one mentioned above but it is quite expensive. I really want to get a aluminum bumper but $50+ seems too much for protection that don't even cover the rear.

Here is mine. Just received it today. It's a G4-slim fit. It's a hard case that is super thin and has a rubbery non -slip feel to it.

After finding out about Brando screen protectors after reading a thread here on XDA, I decided to see what other accessories they had for the 7.7. And they had a couple cases in different colors that looked worth a try. Ive been wanting one that snapped on and only covered the edges and not any of the screen itself because sometimes they will cause a screen protector to peel, and I found this. It comes in 4 colors. I ordered the "ice" color which is basically clear because I wanted to still be able to see the silver back. And since it was only $10 I decided to pick up this one too, also in the ICE color. So anyway Ill write some short reviews about them when I get them. It takes 7-10 days from Hong Kong. Heres a couple pics also.
Just ordered 2, these look awesome! Thanks for posting, I'll post pics when I get them.

I got a similar one, with an X in the back. It works, but it increases the size a bit (not so much thickness though, but the length x height), without adding much value (like a stand or wallet pockets or whatever). And it's kind of slippery in your hands, but not so much in your pocket.
It does protect the tab more than the OEM book case, but the Book Case looks better, it's more portable, it's a stand and slips into your pocket easier, while not being slipery in your hands when folded. Protection is just against scratches though.
The worst thing about the case like this is the power button. It's kind of hard to press on/off and sometimes I turn off the tablet trying...very annoying.

Yea, I will most likely be using the snap on most of the time.
UPDATE: Ive received the cases and will write a short review with pics.
Ill start with the snap on case. First thing I noticed that there were 2 spots that had what I would call a stress mark. You know the whitish look that plastic gets when its been bent and is close to breaking? (see pics) This was right out of the package. And it had a scratch along the back as well. Very cheaply made. But it does fit, and fits pretty good. But compared to the TPU type it just doesnt look good, so that one will be shelved. No point in returning it. Comes in Blue, Pink, Black, and ice (clear) I dont recommend this case.
The "ice" colored clear TPU style "X" case is awesome. Its made very well and fits perfect. Since its clear the silver of the tab shows through and looks great. All the ports are cut out well, and it has a very nice grip feel to it. Which of course is a great thing to have on a nearly $600 tablet. My only complaint is one that happens with most of these style cases, and that is that it makes the buttons stiff, and less responsive. They work, but require a lot more force to register. Other than that if you want a case that protects, and still shows the awesome silver back of the 7.7, I do recommend this case, and I prefer the ice colored one. (clear) It does come in red also.
I had also ordered this sleeve . I knew there was a chance it might not fit, but based on the measurements I knew it would be close. Well it didnt fit. It was only $7.45 shipped so no biggie. Ill give it to my mother in law that has the first edition 7" galaxy tab.
I just checked their site (brando), and they have a new case choice that looks like it might be good. Its a snap on type, but is rubber backed rather than the hard plastic. Comes in Colors: Black, White, Blue, Pink, and Red. I might order one, but I learned from my last order to expect at least 16 days for shipping.
Anyway thats all and heres some pics.
Now that you have had the clear back cover for a few days, how is it holding up specially around the buttons and sim/SD slot? I ordered a similar one from an eBay seller in china and it has fallen apart those two areas. This was within 2 day of first use, I had not dropped it so was very upset about it. I did pay $4 for it so i guess I shouldn't complain.

I dont even use it. Already collecting dust. I use the X case sometimes, but love the poetic case and use it the most. Looks great, protects great, and has multi stand angles. Highly recommend.
