Wanted to let you guys know about this $6 case, I didn't expect much but it is actually super nice. I got the silver one and couldn't be happier. Took 2 weeks to get here but well worth it in my opinion, I'm about to get the gray and blue ones too. Only downside I see is it is open at the top and bottom, so if dropped it just right it could still dent the front of the metal bezel of the phone. Corners and rest of the rim are well covered.

which one is the better choice?
i would go with rubber
I have the plastic one, but it's coated with rubber. I went with this on instead of the clear plastic one because it's easier to hold on too, plus won't crack as easy. It has saved my phone numerous times.
Black Rubberized
I recently bought the black rubberized one and it is the best case I have ever purchased. Here is the link for your info http://tinyurl.com/l9hfr4 I have tried black splastic, clear see through ones. They are all jokes compared to this case! Check it out!

As soon as i saw it i bought it. Thanks!
i've tried many cases with my phones. the rubberized ones are good for gripping in your hand or on your dashboard, but the colors sometimes throw off the color of your device. the aluminum ones i think are point blank wack...too bulky. i've settled with always buying the clear plastic ones. despite other people saying they are cheap or they break easy, they dont. i dropped my touch pro 2 from about 4ft onto my driveway. the plastic case did not shatter, but it did scuff the corner. the rubberized one would have probably flaked a bit. the tp2 is still flawless , the only setback with the clear is that lint and dust gets under and it looks like your phone is dirty.(i hate it) i clean my device everyday but the upside is that there is no scratches or dings on it. the plastic ones are great! i got mine from my local mall at a cell accessory kiosk for $8.
Hey,
Figure I might share some of my items that I just received for my new AT&T GS2.
I always collected a few accessories for my phones and figured getting cases for this phone would be no different.
TPU Skin - Out of the 4 cases I got, I think this is the one I use the most. The fit is nice and tight and all the ports are easily accessible. Only issue I have is I hate pressing the volume key and the power button through the case itself but it's something I'm getting use to.
Rubberized Case - Not sure why the red one they sent me is different from the black but it still works. They have the nice rubberized feeling that I like but the fitment is a little off so you can feel the edges in certain areas.
Belt Clip - This is not bad of a belt clip for the phone. The TPU and rubberized case fit in it with no problems. Maybe a little snug but nothing really bad. I was able to shove the Case-mate into it but it is very very very tight. I might leave it in there a few days to see if it might stretch out elastics on the side but so far I like using it with my TPU case.
Where'd you buy?
Had a cranky baby last night so made the post in a kind of a hurry.
I ordered the items from daydeal.com
Can you link to the case that has the diamond pattern please?

well tahts where i bought mine
Since I don't have enough posts, I can't really post a direct link.
If you go to Cell Phone Brands --> Samsung --> Samsung Galaxy S II (AT&T) i777 --> Skin Covers
I chose the Argyle Smoke on the bottom of the page.
Got one of these yesterday, it's a perfect fit and it barely adds any girth to the phone. It actually feels the same size in my hand believe it or not.
The only issue I have is that it leaves the top and the bottom of the phone exposed. Oh and that is pretty hard to get off the phone.
Overall, I'm very satisfied with my purchase.

Just got mine too. Fits really well and has a grip to it versus the stock back.
I also have this case in white. Mine is just as slick as the stock note back though. Otherwise, it fits great.

Posted pics in the white case consolidated thread in this subforum.
Still love this case.... I kinda want something to protect the tops and Bottoms though

Yeah I bought this case in Indigo Blue before I got my phone and it is nice for a slim case, but I decided I needed more protection. It does leave the top and bottom edges exposed and starts out a little tight when new. I only use it for times when I need a slim case.
But the texture is nice and I really don't have anything bad to say about it.

Just dropped my phone with this case on. I was sitting down and as I was getting up, I forgot I had the phone connected to my pc still. It yanked outta my hand and landed on the corner. Then it bounced up back into my hands, no joke lol
Not a scratch on the note! Only a dent in the case!

Bought one of these to replace my SGP Ultra Thin which seems a touch oversized (creaks/pops when squeezed) and too slick.
Hopefully this one is a tight fit and has a texture like Incipio's Feather.

no pics though?
The Elagio case is outstanding, will post some pics later.

Jk, will google.

Here are some quick pictures I snapped of the case (front and back). Its got a great matte black finish that really reminds me of the Incipio Feather I have used on the Atrix and iPhone4 in the past. This one seems more durable with the short time I have had with it- it doesn't feel like it will snap easily like other thin cases.
Its really not difficult to take off unless you have only used soft gel or TPU cases before. Just pop off one corner, then the other on the same side and the entire case comes right off. Since the bottom is open, it works in the Samsung Desktop Dock perfectly.
(Don't mind the lift/bubbles on the screen protector, the new ones are in the mail )
leaves the top and bottom edge exposed?
no good in case of drop

The white one is not matte... It's pretty slick. It does have a little grip too it.
The top and Bottoms are exposed, however the corners are not. So drops on the corner aren't as bad as you might expect

I got mine yesterday. I got the matte blue.
I'm pretty sure I'm gonna return it though.
I found it actually more slippery than the stock back.
I don't mind the top and bottom exposure because I think the odds of impact at those points are slim. I think the corners are most important and I don't know why one of them has a cutout (top right). I can't see a reason for it.
Looking at my last phone's scratches the corners are where it hit the few times it fell.
As far as the exposed top and bottom I guess it was easier to mold that way...
Like I said I don't mind the exposure but I realized the bottom opening has a bit of an edge to it. Noticeable. I was holding the phone one handed and I noticed I use my pinkie finger along the bottom of the phone as a cradle.
Unfortunately, that edge is right there and was uncomfortable.
So the case is beautiful and has the looks and the feel (but a bit slippery) but the exposed corner and the bottom edge make me want to try something else.
On my tbolt I had a Seido Surface and it was perfect. Slim and added very little bulk and weight.
I contacted Seido to see if they were going to make that line for the Note and they said at this time they weren;t. Perhaps the 5 million in sales will change that...I guess for now I'll keep it naked and research some more.
I got the black and white versions of this case off Amazon. The black definitely has a better grip. The white looks great with my new white note, but like other's have said, it's a glossy finish and doesn't have the some tact feel as the black.
I also got another cheap black case that has a small frame that snaps on the front to provide a lip around the screen. It feels exactly the same as the black elago, and aside from the front screen lip, it's the same size.

I noticed that my case was slippery at first as well, but over time, it isn't as slippery as the stock white cover any more.
Also, the cut out on the upper right corner is to accommodate the antenna on the Korean version of the GNote. Rather than retool their fabrication process for other markets, they just used the same mold for all. At the price this thing goes for, you'd think they would've done a separate fabrication for models without the need for the cutout.
Other than that, I'm pretty happy with mine.
I bought this case for its really unique look. The picture I saw was for the black note but I knew it would look really awesome on my white note. The case is very thin hard plastic (not flexible at all even though the website states it is) with design of rain drops imbedded into the plastic, the water drops are actually raised up making the back have a strange texture and causing it to be super slippery. I was afraid to keep it on too long as I feared dropping it. It does not provide very much protection at all its more for show and scratch protection for the back, the gradient color from blue to clear makes it very nice looking. I found this one ebay but ended up buying from obostore for $7.99 with free shipping. It was shipped very fast too. I have provided pictures and link to store I bought it from. I would use it for scratch resistance only, I ended up not using it because of the above issues but it did look great! I still use my TPU case for better protection for the sides and screen of the device. There is no lip to protect the screen on this case and top and bottom sides are open. Buy it for the looks not the protection. I bought the blue one but it also available in black, yellow, pink and white. Also note that it comes with a screen protector but it is for the international version with the home button.

I am going to buy official SAMSUNG GALAXY S7 Clear View Case Cover, but I am struggling whether to get a silver or a black case for my black S7. It's really hard to determine from the pictures what is the difference, because they always present silver version of S7 with with silver case and black version of S7 with black case. Which one would look better on the black version?
I got the silver one on a silver S7. Looks and snaps on superb and it's not obstructive on the keyboard.
On a black S7, personally I would go for the case with a black rim. If you like the bling, go for the silver one.
In my opinion, don't ever buy this case. It did micro scratchs on the top of the screen and a few on the right edge after less than one week. The reason is that if tiny particles got trapped between the cover and the screen, then they will damage your screen. You are warned now.

I got the Rugged Armor from Spigen, really good material and fits really well. Also ordered a Yootech screen protector. It's not tempered glass cause it seems because of the 2.5D screen it's almost impossible to fit a tempered glass effectively on it. Gorilla Glass 4 should be resistant enough anyway...

I confirm that. I bought this case for my wife in 1 week appeared several scratches at the top of the screen. I was VERY BRAVE. As Samsung makes a cover that scratches the screen of your cell phone. RIDICULOUS.
I like white black
