****The Official Samsung Galaxy S II ACCESSORIES Thread***

Well, I just ordered:-

- 3mm case from the Bay £3
- Zenis dock from the Bay via South Korea £8
- Extended batt from Mobile Fun £28
- Some sucker stand from Mobile Fun £5

The plastic bumper I previously ordered from the bay (£3) was useless and awkward to use the buttons (I suspect the 3mm case will equally be awkward but its only £3).

Also previously bought one of those "book" type leather covers but it makes the phone pretty thick and the flap is a bit unwieldy when you want to make a call. Also weirdly it seems to interfere with call quality.

All seems like trial and error with these accessories, but thanks to mrk for the testing he's done to date.
 
Anyone have or recommend a <£10 armband? Obviously would like one where the cover sheet still gives touch access to the phone screen and not too bulky - I've got puny upper arms. Are the cheapo <£5 any good or to be avoided?
 
Has anyone come across a decent S2 stand/holder that clips onto a car's fan grill? It doesn't need to have power (I used my cigarette lighter to power my iPod's FM transmitter) just somewhere where I can plonk my phone when on GPS or when taking calls on speakerphone so it doesn't fall off things.
 
Just recieved my extended battery, the phone now feels much better in my hand with no noticable increase in the weight. Still getting used to the new indented camera area with the new back cover as it protrudes with the regular battery.
 
^ Thanks for the heads up. been using the normal 1650ma however didnt value the increase capacity at over 20 quid. Order later....6 months on and i am still to find a case i like though hmm
 
The 3mm case works really well. Thin black translucent plastic. Very thin and adds absolutely no bulk to the phone. Also fits the extended battery. Not sure how much protection it offers if you drop the phone but I'm happy to trade that for the lack off bulk. Bargain price too.

Recieved my Samsung Galaxy S II Mesh Case today. Very happy with it. Exactly what I wanted. Firm but also soft. Not a rigid peice of plastic.

Quality feel to it.

But really, Samsung should bundle this accessory with the phone.
 
After a couple of days of using the 3mm case, I've decided to ditch it. I find it more slippery holding the edges of the phone with this case, than without. Would be great if the case had been made out of soft silicone/rubber but this is too slippy. Shame because I really like the thinness of the case.

The search goes on.....
