eForcity Cases for the i777 - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777

Has anyone tried out any of the eForCity cases for their phone?
I bought my phone of Craigslist and it came with an Otterbox...but I really want something that has a flap to prevent lint from getting in the headphone jack. I was searching Newegg and stumbled onto this...
edit: I guess I can't post links so go to newegg and search for item 9SIA0PG09H1833
For $6 it might just go ahead and get it, but I figured check here first.
Thanks!

The otterbox has covers ( "flaps" ) for the headphone jack and USB charger.

I have one and it adds a ton of bulk to the phone and lint likes to get caught in all the crevices of the case. It also clings to your pocket a bit until your hand oils impregnate the case. I've dropped my phone a few dozen times and these style cases protect it quite well. For the price I'd give it a try.

My Otterbox has one for the USB charger but not the headphone jack...maybe it was modified by the previous owner.

Yeah, that sucks. Well if you like the case, buy a new one.

Thanks I wonder if you can use the tpu case instead of the one that comes with it because the tpu protects the camera..?
I personally think that it looks like garbage from the front. Now the rear of the case looks ok, and the way the holster turns into a kickstand is a cool concept. The way the front just clips on looks tacky in my opinion though...

Hey guys check the link on my signature.
This is a stand that will fit any phone, with the case or without it.
It has multiple viewing angles, and you can rotate it to set the phone on any of its four sides.
You avoid blocking any ports with the rotation.
It is removable or you can keep it on the phone. It is also very small that u can bring it with you anywhere.

I wish it attached with a suction cup or something removable so it isn't stuck on there all the time.... Looks kinda cool though

Looks very similar to a case/holster combo I had for my BB Storm (god I hated that phone) . The case part just pops on the phone and it slides into the holster . Was a good combo back in the day took alot of beating and never broke or gave out .

The clip anchors for "kick standing"/kick stand broke in less than 2 weeks after I got it. Company did send replacement (with another case included!). The plastic clip that goes on your hip and kick stands with the metal clip thingy snapped in half after 6 days of use. Didn't bother to RMA again. The cases themselves are thin and are pretty solid, though. Going for Seido's thin case/kickstand product. Wish they had it in red, though!

Lack of Accessories for At&t sgs2

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.

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.
Cases
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!

[Q] Suggestions on a cheap solid case?

I'm on the verge of buying a case for my SGS2 but I don't know what I should look for. I banged up my captivate pretty bad (even dropped it in water and it worked!) and would like to keep this phone sexy but functional. I need a case that will fit into my jeans and can still hold onto one handedly and is easy to use all the buttons and Ports. I'm considering a kind of rubber one because I would possibly like the feel of it and won't slip out of my hands. Screen protecters I feel are a waste because I've never scratched my captivate screen and I put it through hell. What are your suggestions for cases? If you could post a link to the product it would be great. Thanks!

I'm using this one...fits great, has a diamond-plate pattern texture where you grip it so it's not slippery in the hand. and has all the microphone holes in the right places for our model.

@BlakDye,
I have the $2.95 version of the tpu gel case from arena.gadget on the way. It was shipped on 10/28 so I should have it any day now. I currently have this case which I got as an incentive with my phone instead of a price match, but it is a little too bulky for me. If I like the tpu case, I'll be selling this one.

If it does it job right yep, From what I did to my captivate it should be good and protect the plastic from scratching if I drop it. I've never dropped my phone to the point of anything breaking.

If they had that case hanging on the wall of an AT&T store I'm sure it would be $25.00!
and BTW it fits much better than the AGS case I bought when I got the phone.
nobody like pouch/holder,i dont think someone would using a case for long time.
i just use case with my phone for 1 month.

Another bumper question

I've decided to find a different bumper as I don't really care for the one I have. So I'm looking for suggestions on bumpers that have the cut outs big enough around the mp3 jack and charging port so that the bumper doesn't have to be removed.
Thanks in advance
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
Got a link to the bumper you have, so folks don't recommend what you've already got
http://www.ebay.com/itm/400281491137?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
That's the one I ordered. It's not nearly as red as it looks in the picture. It's more of a burgandy or maroon red kinda color. I guess I didn't think about this but the clear backing on it looks pretty bad as it starts to get scratches.
Geez. 215 views and none of ya has a bumper that you can fit your mp3 jack and charging attachments into?

I wouldn't really call that a bumper...it's a full case. There are some threads here already that discuss different bumpers, and I don't think most of them need to have their ports enlarged. I have the Anymode bumper on order (should be here today), so I can let you know how that one works. But it costs twice as much as the one you bought.
Thanks, Budge. Am definately interested in your thoughts. I'm not really worried about cost.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
What did you not like about your current back cover, and what is it that you're look more for?
Oh there's really nothing wrong with the back cover. Seems to scratch easy but no biggee. What I don't like is it's not really close to being red....more of a burgandy. And I don't like that the cut outs are too small.

OEM HTC Droid DNA Charging Port Rubber Cover

I know a few people have pulled theirs off on purpose. My puppy chewed mine off and it irritates me not being there now. I had been looking to replace it and found this:
http://www.etradesupply.com/oem-htc-droid-incredible-x-droid-dna-charging-port-rubber-cover.html
$4 is cheap but it costs $18 to ship it.... has anyone found them for sale anywhere else?
I would email HTC first, they might send you one... I just needed a usb cable because mine broke and they sent a cable ans wallcharger!
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda premium
That is the only site I have ever seen that sells it. I looked a couple days ago and they didn't even have it in stock, looks like it's back now though. 18 dollars for shipping is kinda ridiculous if you ask me though.

If you want it bad enough.... I ripped mine off cause it was falling off anyway
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
I'd say it's not worth it at any price. It's just going to fall off again. Pretty much everyone I've known with one whether they liked it or hated it it still fell off soon or didn't function well anyway.
I always try to play nice with my phones. I hated that cover from day one but as always played nice (didn't rip or cut it off) but the day it fell off, I picked it up and put it in original box I also kept. My HTC incredible 1 and my HTC thunderbolt both made it till next upgrade with out that cover. Reminds me of those port covers on the older dumb phones that never really had a purpose but to make the port weaken over time, then go bad and phone quit charging. Not worth replacing at any price. But good luck to you if you really feel you need one!

I bought a used Employee Edition DNA and the owner ripped off the USB cover and did not mention it...
That site was the only one I found as well, and at first it was OOS but when it came back that shipping definitely killed it for me. Granted, it is shipping from Korea I believe, but it isn't worth it to buy a black USB cover... if it was Red I might have just sucked it up...
They may fall off "easily", but I have no use for the USB port right now anyway since I'm using a wireless charger... there are always ways to work around the USB cable to transfer files as well. Not sure why so many people look down on people who want to keep their flap intact...

I agree that it does get in the way... so much in fact that I did not want to use a DNA until I got a wireless charger =\
I'm just a bit OCD with my phones and given that the back is red, and then there's a sudden black break along the bottom with the missing USB door... just looks off to me.

I wonder why even replacement DNA Body kits do not include the USB door either...

It may depend on how you rip it out. Mine was already removed, but it seems to be cut and the rubber end in the phone is staying put and does not make any noise. I'd take your cover if you do get rid of it though

I would like to know if it really does keep water out as well, it says the phone is water resistant, but could that little plastic piece really hold back anything? FYI mine has been taken off as well so annoying to use i just said screw it and ripped it off one day. Haven't looked back since
For those of you that have replaced this rubber port cover, how easy/difficult was this process?
To replace the cover, you have to take off the entire back. The little port cover isn't held on by anything though, it just sits between the phone and the plastic backing. Unless you're an expert at taking unibody phones apart, it's not worth it because I broke the waterproof seal strip during the process. It was glued on.
Looks like you can get one for $6.80 here w/ free shipping
