Cases Available So Far?

I got a Zagg invisible shield at Best Buy today. My store just got them in. I love it. I also ordered the Zenus air cushion case AND the case mate brushed aluminum. I'm going to decide which one I like better and maybe send the other one back. I'll let you guys know.

Let us know how the case mate went. I'm considering sending my Zenus back as the plastic seemed to stretch on me and became a little loose for my liking. I had the monochrome. For some it might be tolerable, as it's not a huge difference, but I want something hugging my phone at all times
 
Incipio posted on their Facebook wall that they should have cases available in "about two weeks":

I just got them both today. Tried the Zenus first... I didn't like how cheap it felt. I have the monochrome air cushion white w/ black inlay.

Then I tried the case mate. Oh. My. God.
Amazing! It's beautiful, and the whole case feels like metal but it's super lightweight. It must be some sort of coating on the plastic. I'm in love with it though. Sturdy, luxurious, and rigid. No flex or stretch at all. Fits like a glove. I HIGHLY recommend it!

This is great to hear. Mine should (hopefully) be in tomorrow.

Btw...I hate tracking things through usps. haha

Sent from my AT&T Samsung Galaxy SII

How's the reception? Any difference with the case on?

Did you buy the case mate directly from their website? If so, how long did it take for you to receive it?

The confirmation said it would take 6-10 days. I ordered it on Sunday. They shipped it on Monday and I got it today. 3 days from ordering to my mailbox. I was impressed.
 
Does the case have a small lip on the front so that it protects the screen when the phone is placed screen side down?

Make sure you guys "like" case-mate's facebook page. They give you a 20% off coupon for doing so :)
(I ordered mine the 11th. It started in ATL and used the extra money I saved from the coupon toward express shipping, and it arrived in vegas yesterday, should be at the house today the 13th)

Gay Gay Gay. Hate when that happens. Oh well i guess that's what i get for not liking facebook :( :(
 
I ordered three different "bumper" cases. Two "Generic Cases" are the same type, just different colors (orange / black). The other is the SGP Neo Hybrid EX (yellow). I knew going in that I would probably have to make my own hole for the top microphone since all of the cases were designed for the i9100 version of the GS2.

All three of them together.

The generic cases:
How much: $10 (shipping included)
Where: Ebay seller superloverseller, description ?TPU BUMPER FRAME CASE COVER SKIN FOR SAMSUNG GALAXY S2 S 2 II i9100 USA SELLER?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/TPU-BUMPER-FRAME-CASE-COVER-SKIN-SAMSUNG-GALAXY-S2-S-2-II-i9100-USA-SELLER-/220870704009?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&var=&hash=item79157455a4Material: TPU.
Feel: The volume/power buttons are a bit squishy with it on. You don?t get the positive feel of a button. The buttons work fine, just not much tactile feedback. The TPU is not super grippy, but not slick.
Fit: Fit well. Maybe could be a little more tight.
Appearance: The rubber has small imperfections, but overall fine for a cheap case. The black version is somewhat glossy, but does not have that super glossy cheap look IMO. The orange is by far my favorite of the two cheapies.

SGP Neo Hybrid EX:
How much: $26.99 (shipping included)
Where: Ebay seller unitedsgpcorp (they appear to be SGP USA), description ?SGP Samsung Galaxy S2 Case Neo Hybrid EX Series [Reventon Yellow]?
SGP Samsung Galaxy S2 Case Neo Hybrid EX Series Reventon Yellow | eBay
Material: Soft rubber insert with a thin plastic shell
Feel: The volume/power buttons still have a lot of ?feel? to them. The plastic shell is not as slippery as I thought it might be.
Fit: Good
Appearance: You definitely pay for quality here. It has high quality fit and finish.

Plenty of lip on the front to keep the screen off flat surfaces when laid down.

The back lip (not pictured) keeps the camera back off flat surfaces when laid down. It has a little more lip than the Hybrid EX

The black version of the generic case showing the battery cover can be removed with the case still on (the Hybrid EX also allows for battery cover removal).

The new microphone hole on the generic case (I used a punch to make the hole). You can also see some of the imperfections in the rubber that I mentioned. The picture exaggerates the imperfections and it looks fine unless you get right up on it.

The back lip (not pictured) is just enough to keep the camera off flat surfaces when laid down.

Nice, thank you for the pics Mtucker, I ordered the Neo Hybrid case from sgp, but i had a hard time deciding between the hybrid ex and the regular hybrid. I figured the two outer plastic pieces look the same, and i could cut the back of the rubber out if it added too much bulk. Hoping i can make the new hole for the second mic look nice and clean.. might have to grab the dremmel.

should have my case tomorrow i'll try and get some pics up of it.

SO NO TO BULK!
