There's a whole section dedicated to accessories. Pretty much any thing you want for your GSII is in there somewhere.

i know, i already have a case but i am thinking of getting a smaller one, wanted to see what everyone elses view on it was!
I use a cover for my phone, the glass is Gorilla Glass so it should not scratch.
I am very happy with my case.
Yup

I use this case & it's been awesome.especially considering the price.
case makes the phone fat so no
TC tpu case, 3 bucks on Amazon, USB and headphone Jack holes trimmed wide to accommodate a variety of plugs. armorsuit screen protector (think that was about 3 bucks too). Had both since phone was a week old, roughly October 10 or so. Minimal increase in phone size, with decent protection. I work in construction, so naked isn't a safe option for my phone...

you can buy cases that are real slim and don't really add much to the phone. it still protects it. highly recommended!
I'm a huge fan of this. It's more expensive than a lot of cases, but you're buying two cases: a TPU (I think? some sort of rubberish material) skin, and a hard plastic shock-resistant outer shell. It also comes with two screen protectors, and has all of the cutouts (as well as incorporating dust covers for the speakers) for this phone. It's incredibly durable, and at $30 it's a pretty good value if you dig it.

Oh, and if you don't care for black, it comes in four other colors - which also determines the color of the underlying soft case.
I hate cases. Was shattering the glass on my previous iPhones constantly because of it and the fact that I am clumsy as sh$t. That being said I bought the case mate barely there case and it is great. I highly recommend it for being slim and protected. Really doesnt add bulk at all and have dropped this phone many times without a scratch. Good buy I suggest it for anyone who doesn't like bulky cases
No case

I love Zagg's full body cases. If you don't want a bulky case zagg is the best cuz its really like a full body screen protector. They're expensive but they replace them without a problem if you have any problems
Otterbox can be a bit bulky, but it's tired and true (I'm using the Commuter version). I like having a phone with a bit more heft to it so I know nothing will happen when I inevitably drop it. Cut outs are pretty much perfect, with flaps to cover ports and keep out dust. Corners can attract lint, and my biggest gripe with it would be how hard it is to get on and off (it's a problem for taking out SIM card), but I never have cause to take it off very often anyway. I really like it thought, there's my 2 cents.
I'm using the otterbox commuter. I love it!!

I hate using a case but I rather have it on "just in case". I absolutly love the lightness and overall feel of the SGS2 naked
Wife and I are using the official galaxy s2 mesh case. Not much protection but the buttons aren't covered and it keeps the camera off the counter. All we really need with almost no bulk added

Nope no case.
Well worth!
Using the Diztronic Matte Back Black Flexible TPU Case
Note: the come-along screen protector is perfectly fitted but low quality.
okay. I'm not looking at cases for now, and I would rather want my phone naked. HOWEVER, I'm still scared to have it completely naked. I have ordered screen protector from sgp, and I wonder which one I should get between Zagg's full body invisible shield and SGP Crumena leather pouch.
Zagg invisible shield can keep the same original look of the phone and prevent the scratch. http://www.zagg.com/invisibleshield/htc-evo-4g-lte-cases-screen-protectors-covers-skins-shields.php
SGP Crumena leather pouch can make me feel and look the sleekness of the phone when I use, and it.can keep my phone from scratches when it's in my purse. http://www.spigen.com/cell-phone/htc/evo-4g-lte/htc-evo-4g-lte-crumena-leather-pouch-series.html
Not sure which one is better. What do you all think?
There's no reason why you can't have both. However if it does come down to one or the other, I recommend the invisibleShield. I've used them on countless devices (two blackberries, my old iPod, three previous phones, my tablets and not to mention the installations I did for family and friends) and out of all of those I've only had ONE scratch (and I had it replaced for free) but it did save the screen on my device.
The pouch is also nice because it will keep dust and other stuff off your phone and it might even protect it a bit if you (oh, please don't let this happen) drop it. However the shield is permanently on, meaning it will always protect you from scratches. You'll only have it in the pouch when you are not using it.
I stay away from anything named Zagg. Ugly rubber junk.

I only need one or the other. You think shield is also permanent? I felt like they would be peeled as I use them especially those areas I grip.

Um...because its ugly rubber junk, lol. Rubbery feel, glossy orange peek look. They were good 5 years ago when there was nothing else out there, but they're way behind in the game now. The only reason they still do well is because they're in Best Buy and Radio Shack. Side by side comparisons with all the other top brands woukd show how bad they are. I've used about 10 different brands of screen protector over the last few years and I wouldn't use Zagg if you paid me

I'd personally go with Zagg... its military grade and has a lifetime warranty. Its comes off clean, line it was never there. I don't know about the full body protection as I've only ever used the screen protector but I'd buy Zagg again in a heartbeat. you're not going to use the phone in the pouch... most of the time you drop it, i guarantee it won't be in the pouch.

I've actually had them leave residue in the past. That was the thing that made me try other brands that led me to realize Zagg was one of the worst products on the market, just marketed well. I just don't understand why anyone would use a product that destroys screen clarity and feel as much as Zagg does.

I am using the Skinomi full body. It took time to put on, but it was easy to do. I wanted to protect my phone from scratches when I didn't want to use a case. The HTC logo on the back took about 3 days to fill in, but it did completely. Skinomi customer service is fantastic. They sent me out a replacement for the screen protector because of a defect and did not want the defective one sent back the way zagg does. Also, the screen protector self heals where I found that zagg hd does not. I have had pouches un the past, but ended up not using them because I found them to be a pain. I bought a few cruzerlites in different colors as well as the matte black Diztronic just for extra protection when I'm at the pool, etc. These cases are fantastic,very thin, and it's fun to change around the colors. I hope this helps.

That makes sense about the zagg residue... I've just never had that happen. As for the Skinomi, that's awesome. I didn't know it healed. Definitely going to check it out now.

NO not THAT type of protection :angel: Ordered my new Rezound today and am looking for a good screen protector, case, etc. I have done a little searching on topic and I see alot of "I wish they made this for the Rezound" and not many consistent reviews. I am a mechanic and with my old DINC I had the issue with metal shavings even if I put in a small ziplock bag. Anyone have a good cheap fix to this problem so I don't immediately screw my new phone? I have found: CASE and PROTECTOR that I like so far. The realook seemed to be on par or similar to the steinheils people seem to worship. thanks in advance
screen protector
I work in a machine shop, so i get shavings as well
On my BB the chips would get into the speaker and cause problems
I use best skins ever protector without any case and have not had problems.
easy install, smooth feel works great
http://www.bestskinsever.com/htc-rezound-skin
that's interesting, is it just a plastic shield for front and back?
If bulk is not an issue, I'd suggest getting the Otterbox Defender case. I has a built-in screen protector and will make it pretty hard to damage your new phone. Check them out here....

By the way, you can find them cheaper on Amazon or Ebay. I have no affiliation with any of the companies mentioned in this post.
I agree with mefloump, I just purchased the Otterbox Defender and it works great. I highly recommend it.
I've been looking at it too. I have someone else with one on an iphone. Nice cases.
Check out the ZaggShield. Definitely my favorite.
will def give those a look at. I was a little concerned about "bulk" how bulky is it? Like I keep my phone in my pocket (non saggy/baggy) am I going to have problems fishing it out? lol

IMO, I don't think you will be able to get it in your pocket with the defender case. It comes with a holster though. Personally I use the body glove case because it is slim fitting.

your best bet is zagg! order online for 16 or 17 buck + shipping, but it is a lifetime replacement if anything happens to it
Not sure if it was suggested but get the Zagg screen protector and pop out the screen protector that comes with the Defender case. You'll be pretty protected.
Phones: HTC Droid Incredible // HTC Rezound (current)
I would look into ghost armor if I was you. They are the best screen protection I have ever found but I wouldnt order one and put it on yourself, they put it in a littlte hot box to cook it to the screen. Amazing feel, almost cant tell its there, and they do a little demo by intentionally scratching it with car keys and what not with no damage.
I've been pretty happy with tpu cases, very thin yet durable. I've actually dropped it a few times with no problems. And to top it all off I just got one off eBay for about $2.. I also use the cheap screen protectors because they feel smooth and if I scratch them it's not the end of the world.

Thats funny you say that. I am a field tech with Yale, the yellow forklift company, and thats actually what I did too for the first couple of months of owning the Rezound. I carried that sucker around everywhere with it inside of one of those little parts ziplock type bags from work.

I just purchased the LTE version off eBay and I'll be needing a case and screen protector for it.
For the screen protector, I just want the plain 99-cents-for-3-pack type ones - no fancy wet application ones, or ones that give it a rubbery feeling, or that will peel and wear due to how thick they are, etc. And for some reason, I'm having trouble finding them - which is funny because its usually the oppsoite.
For the case, I'd like something that's still compatible with the official charge dock. From what I understand there's an adapter included to make it work with cases, but I still don't want anything bulky - I don't drop my phones, I just need protection from everyday wear. A plain slim snap on case would do - big plus if its legit bamboo/wood on the back (not cheap plastic or skin); nothing that covers the buttons, though, as I like their tactile feel.
Suggestions?

JK man, I guess you'll have to wait a bit more for more options to come when the handset is available worldwide.
In the meantime, you could check cases from PDAir, they seem like real premium ones, leather too.
Anyway, you can find simple screen protectors off eBay for 2/3 bucks for 3, but I went premium even there and bought the Gearmaxxx one off eBay, like 20 bucks for front+back.

To be fair, I think the guy I bought it from is a fraud and doesn't actually have them. Haven't received any communication from him since the 5th, even though I left a note upon purchase. Thank goodness I used Bill Me Later, I'm not actually out of that huge amount of money until I can cancel the transaction (if it comes to that).
And yeah I went ahead and got these two sets of screen protectors, plus this clear case for now:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/121159453538
http://www.ebay.com/itm/121167852672
http://www.ebay.com/itm/121160352193
Figure I'll give it a shot using the matte screen protector and see how I like it, and go clear if I can't take the loss in quality. And I'm considering the Incipio Watson since I do like their folio cases, but I'm not sure how I feel about having it on a phone (only had it on a tablet) and with no kickstand support.
Can I get some feedback please?

I'm looking for that glass feeling on the film when I'm using the phone. I had a screen protector like this on my SGS2 but I can't remember the name of the product. I don't want this rubbery feeling or the feeling that there actually is a screen protector there.

Have not bought from bestskinsever before but not sure good it is, but they have the black friday deal of buyonegetonefree.
Is it better or equivalent to tempered glass?

This product looks like the invisible shield. They are very strong piece of clear film. I like the tempered glass more but couldn't complain about these either. It's personal preference to me. Either way you will be protected.
