I'd rather gause my eyes out using a blunt instrument!

The bumper case I posted before from GMarket is being shipped, should be here Tuesday I think!

Thinking about getting this for my sister's S2:

mrk why are you messing around with these car mounts? What happened to the Garmin mount and hard plastic case from desire days? I use that and its far better than any of the crap you've posted in here !

mrk · 29 Aug 2011 at 04:04

Because I can

And it's not costing me any money to do so!

but you already have the best solution

No harm in trying other solutions though! And I can review them this way too.

is that just protecting the edges? Does it cover the screen?

I am planning to order an s II for my wife this evening and I need to find a case. The phone will be carried around in her handbag, so I need a case that will protect from dust and scratches, and hopefully keep the phone in mint condition in case she does not like it. I think it should preferably have something covering the screen. Any suggestions?

Can anyone recommend a dock that has either a mains charger built in as well as a USB socket/lead, or anything else that can charge from mains when not connected to a powered USB socket, then switch to USB transfer/charger mode when I switch the PC on.

I hate how long it takes to charge from USB, and don't like leaving my PC on over night to charge the phone.

I've seen this which looks to be what I'm after but I'm not certain, anyone know of any others or bought one of these?

i've got a zenis dock which i think does what you want. you can chose where you plug the usb cable into, either pc to act as a chaged/usb connectino to pc, or to the power socket.

My brother ordered the Nokia holder for his DHD but it doesn't fit well due to the thickness of the phone. Tried my SGSII in it with the Sline case on, and it doesn't fit either. Disappointed.

Read up^

Simple trim the rubber pads on the inside.

Mines a nice tight squeeze with the mesh case and pads uncut.

mine too. it fits into it perfectly can be done with one hand, though taking it out it's a bit more difficult and needs 2 hands though i guess this is a good thing as any looser and it could fall out. i've got the nokia in car, exogear in van and prefer the exo

The Walnutt bumper case from GMarket came today. Been checking it out and I am impressed with it. Quality is very good, it is not the grippy rubber like some cases though but it does protect all the sides. The top left corner has a recessed hole which I imagine is for the Asian market S2 with TV tuner built in.

It is a few mm thicker than the official Samsung mesh case but the phone still feels thin because there's no back to the case, it is just a bumper covering the sides. It fits into the Zenis dock perfectly so any other docks designed for use with or without a case should also be fine.

Pics:

I will see how it handles dust collection around the bezel and make a decision if I will keep it or not. If I don't keep it I will just give it to my dad as he's due a new S2 in a few days.

Completely OT but mrk, where did you get the huge mousemat thing from?

mrk · 30 Aug 2011 at 14:10
