originally had the verizon holster case but I bought the aluminum back and cruzerlite clear case. Still wanted to holster my phone so I tried to fit it in the holster with the cruzer lite and its fits snug and looks good
I've got an Otterbox commuter in Glacier white that looks and fits great on my white s3. Feels very safe and secure.

I got the Belkin bumper case. And HD Zagg shield (doesn't have the orange peel of regular zagg).
As someone that generally hates cases, I find the bumper gives me the illusion of no case..but protects the corners very well.
Keeps the phone nice and minimal looking still.
That looks very clean, I also hate cases this seems to be my next case

Was sort of expensive for a bumper (29.99) but I got it at best buy, it's cheaper on Amazon, I just hate ordering stuff.

hi
Trident case on mine. Would like more color choices but nice case otherwise.
Cole
Rather than looks does anyone have any experience with dropping their phone with their respective cases? My life flashed before my eyes a few months ago when I saw my old iPhone 4S dropping from a bag I was carrying. But, the otterbox hybrid case I was using kept the phone safe and secure. While I don't want to go full derp and increase the thickness of the phone too much, I would love to increase the peace of mind with a good case that protects better than it looks.
Thx in advance.

One of the reviews say it's not real.
I dont think you're going to find one. real carbon fiber to make into a case would require some expensive tooling or someone to hand make each one. Your best bet might be to buy a sheet of carbon fiber and a cheap case and glue panels to the case.

That is pretty much what the BodyGuardz armor is, sheets of vinyl that look like CF that you apply to the body of the phone. I bet it's just 3M Di-NOC cut to fit the SR, in which case just get a 4"x8" sample from 3M for $8: http://store.carbonfibergear.com/3m-di-noc-carbon-fiber-vinyl/ and cut it yourself. More colours there too...
A *real* CF case will probably not ever be produced, for the reasons listed above. The only phone I know of that has a real one is the iPhone, since there are millions of them, and they are all the same, so the market is larger.

Ya i had one on my iphone and thought someone might make one for the skyrocket. I guess there are way too many variations of the galaxy s2.
I'll probably end up getting the overlays.

I bought a sheet off ebay like a year ago. It was a 1'x3' foot sheet for I think $12. I've cut it and put it on all kinds of stuff. If it's flat (like the battery door on the skyrocket) its really easy, just stick it on then trim the edges with a razor blade. If it's a curved surface then you'll need some heat (blow dryer) to conform it to the curves. And don't worry if you mess it up just peel it off, and try again.
One of the posters above posted a link to some from carbon fiber gear.com but you can get it on ebay too. The 3M brand is the best (imo) but I've seen glossy sheets before too, they look more "real" but I have no experience with them.

Interesting... making your own case.
Tell us how it works.
I might get myself some epoxy and some carbon fiber myself. My back is pretty scratched up anyways.

We're not actually making a real carbon fiber case. It's a vinyl sticker that looks like carbon fiber. You just stick it to the phone and trim the edges.

I don't use the invisible-shield like screen protector that comes with this, but the skin fits beautifully .
Saw that already. The 3m di-noc is the best vinyl apparently. I've seen a few cars wrapped in person with it and it's the most realistic looking stuff.

No noticeable bulk. Should fit into any case just fine. It's pretty thin

Does anyone carry their Atrix 2 without a case? I have the Otterbox, and I do like it, but it bring so much bulk to it and makes it hard to do something as simple as putting it in my pocket etc...I've been going back and forth.
I don't have any case for my atrix simply cause i can't find one and the otterbox one will cost me around 50$
I'd keep the case on it. Better safe and bulky than sorry and broken.
I have the defender series otterbox and its saved my ass several times.

I have a Body Glove that doesn't add much thickness when I have the stock battery in, and when I have the extended battery I have no case. The body glove is nice.
I'll be selling the whole kit and phone as soon as I pick up the Nexus 4.

Not at all... Very easy to press. Same goes for the power button and camera button. Those are the only ones covered. Aux, HDMI, Charging port, MIC's, speaker and camera all open. Its a great case. Everyone else seems to gawk over it more then me lol. Probably cuz I'm used to it

I use an extended battery, so it doesn't have a case. When I had/have the regular battery in, I use a Body Glove.
I ran an otter box commuter for a long time. After a year and many many drops (I work on a dock), the silicone is tearing and loosening. The plastic has cracked in a couple places. I still swear by them tho. I ran over my ATRIX 1 w the forklift. Visibly it looked fine but the digitizer was toast. Even the glass wasn't broken. Anyways. Long story short I love em. I stopped using a case tho once I went extended batt. If you're gonna rock the box, get one on eBay. Pay about half price.

Usу now my A2 without case, but this looks great.
Its very exepnsive to order somehing from amazon 4 me (live in Ukraine).
Try to find it in local internet stores.
Thank you anyway!
I use a white Ottebox Communter case for 6 months and planed to buy a defender case
My boyfriend used to keep the otterbox case on his A2, he ended up taking it off because of the bulk too... He's been fine without it for about a year now. Still looks new... I think he dropped it once. Haha.
90% of the time my A2 is in the Otterbox case I picked up at the $5 AT&T sale during...last summer? But since I do have a lapdock and the vehicle dock (and am going to be experimenting with a desk dock shortly) ... the case comes off. Thankfully, it's a pretty easy on and off, and I feel like the phone is very safe/protected when it is in the case.
To our Ukrainian friend...your best bet for cases may be something like eBay UK or eBay RU. Good luck!
I have used my atrix without a case for a while through now with a dinged up bezel I regret my choice to carry it naked.

Anyone thinking of getting one? I'm torn. I love my hornet defender (though the screen protector has proven itself cheaper than my previous defenders), and am torn on giving up that color combo. On the other hand, true waterproof protection could be worth it.
looks pretty solid but slightly too expensive for me.
i got both defender and commuter

The cost does seem prohibitive, but vzw may surprise and stock it, which means a possible discount...

Not really. I see quite a bit of differences. The only thing that looks the same is how it covers the home button. Otherwise the top by the speaker and sensors is totally different, more the the obex. The back is completely different as well as the sides

I agree, it doesn't look anything like the lifeproof other than it is a case. The back on the lifeproof (both versions) is completely clear.
Also, although there is no top view released pictures of the Otterbox Preserver, it is obvious that the headphone seal it quite a bit different from the lifeproof.
I was set to plunk down some money for the lifeproof, but the clear back and the flimsy headphone seal drove me away. It will be interesting to see more info on this case. But if it is not released soon, it will be irrelevant.
So this is really just their Armor series re-branded.

They've updated the design of the case. Not an exact copy of LifeProof case anymore. The earpiece looks huge now
I got these 6 cases and used 4 of them and the other 2 my wife used until we both found our favorites. I'd be happy to answer some questions to help other XDA members find a good case.

I currently have the Ringke, the Spigen slim and the Spigen Neo Hybrid and I by far prefer the Ringke (blue one in OP's picture).
The grip is perfect, not too grippy and not too smooth, and it doesn't pick up oils and smudges from use as badly as the texture on the Spigen slim (black one in OP).
