Samsung Galaxy S II I9100 Cases

Will look to ditch my noreve case soon, I've already had to break the tab off so as to avoid it rubbing the finish off of the phone every time I close it.
Hopefully I will find something that protects and covers the camera and screen (I haven't used the camera apart from some initial tests to compare to my old phone's 8 mpx, so I don't need easy access to it)

Might go for a diary style case if it's made properly (top or bottom of the front flap should not skew out and away from the phone due to the closure's hold).

While trying to come up with a solution to having to carry both my phone & my wallet I came across this

Wallet Leather Case. For only $6 CDN I ordered one & will see how it goes.

Are their any decent cases for the phone? Amazon is selling those crappy rubber ones..any word?


I just got my i9100 Rearth Ringke case in, and man I'm impressed! :D It fits perfectly. Such high attention to detail, and the texture is like nothing I've ever experienced. It's not sticky or slippery. It's like silicone, but it doesn't collect dust or dirt like my other cases. Probably the best case I own - especially for the money. I bought it right off their site since Amazon was sold out.

Has anyone had problems with thebcase mate and otterbox cases where the oyther person would complain of their voice echoing. I fiund that when the case is on yhe silicone hole around the lower Michael is too small. So actually making it larger or cutting that area out completely will rectify the iasue. Also turning off noise reduction every call will too.

Came up with a compromise, I'm going to cut off the front flap of my noreve case (conveniently, right where they stitched it on, so I won't get wear eating away at where I cut had there been no stitches, and it will look neat) and keep the back part of the case+phone inside a neoprene case/holder I've ordered.

Also get a win as now the multifunction jack will be easier to access.

I have the Otterbox Commuter - no problems so far with call quality. I'm very pleased with the case indeed.

i dont think magnets will cause a problem either as the official samsung case uses magnets

I had a magenetic case for my short-lived Nokia N97 <shudders at memory>. I could never work out why the battery was always flat. It turned out that the N97 camera was turned on by moving the magnetic lens cover; putting another magnet nearby fooled the N97 into thinking the camera cover was open and so it was constantly powering the camera. Doh. I've avoided magnetic cases ever since.
