Ok, so I'm shopping for a cover/case for my Galaxy S2 (already got some scratches on the back:()
What would you people recommend?
I want a 'snug-fit' type of cover, not a hard plastic one.
And preferably one that has a screen protector as well.
Please post recommendations and price range.
Thanks!
 
I have a cover but I also have a genuine leather pouch. IMO, the pouch offers better protection. Got mine of amazon.co.uk.
 
I have not managed to find any accesories for s2. Always get told 'we just sold out'

I ordered the casemate tough case from expansys 3weeks ago, collected them yesterday. specifically got the casemate because I had one for my BB Torch and they are the best cases in my opinion. This one for the S2 is even better, doesnt get better than this.
I also found that besides the bodyglove cover (ugliest cover, which is why I was willing to wait 3weeks for the casemate) for the S2, there isnt much in retail stores.
 
The SGP Neo Hybrid case is the best I have seen so far. You may have to import it from the SGP store or eBay. The case itself has an excellent warranty. You even have a code to register the case itself. It comes with an excellent screen protector as well which has a seperate warranty.

Looks good... Converted @ R7.21/$ brings it in at around R265 with shipping.
One thing... I've seen 2 separate reviews... one says the screen protector is included, other one doesn't mention it.
Do you have this case yourself?

Yes, i do have the case myself. I have the black one. It does indeed come with a screen protector included. The screen protector itself is a hiqh quality one from sgp. You can have a look on their website.

I have my case on my phone for 2 months now and no problems at all. My friends who also have the S2 bought cases from the local stores here in SA. They were all impressed with the case. Some of the cheap cases do damage to the phone itself, so you rather buy something good if you want it to last long.

If anything weird happens to the case or screen protector, SGP replaces them.
 
Anyone have the Neo Hybrid in white or red? How does it look IRL? Sharp or naf?

game@holic: does the screen protector affect screen sensitivity etc at all?

When I first put on the screen protector that came with the case, I noticed that it did slightly affect the sensitivity. A few days later it adjusted and came back to normal
 
I got the Ultra Capsule cover from the SGP store. Its a tgp case (rubbery plastic), firm but flexible. My only regret is that its way to expensive to import. R210 for the case and shipping and another R110 customs fee. And it has a screen protecter included.

Got the SGP Ultra Capsule as well.. Dropped my phone out my pocket onto the paving and not a scratch, chip or dent in the phone (landed on the top corner).. Awesome cover!
 
Don't have a Galaxy but I got my hard-gel cover from Take2/Takealot UK store. Cost me R90 plus I bought couple of other things which went over R350 so never paid for shipping. Couldn't find a cover anywhere locally so I said stuff it. Took a while though, 10-15 days. It's clear, fits nicely and has saved me couple of times.

I got the same case as the one from bid or buy but I got it on amazon.co.uk I think it is great, I actually prefer the phone with it on, it adds some grip and weight. I got it for R82 with shipping, you get a screen protector also but it is not great. You can get a similar one on this site for cheap

Just takes about 2-3 weeks to arrive from Hong Kong

I ordered 2 screen protectors from the same site and think they are great also, can hardly see it and no bubbles, only R10 each

I use the E-Style Leather side covers with magnet and find them the best. Tried every other cover available and they always break/tear or cellphone falls out of it easily.

I got it from the vodacom shop for R200 +- at the pavillion.
