This review is from: Made for Samsung’ SAMGS2CCBL metal look Case – black – Galaxy S2 i9100′ (Wireless Phone Accessory)
I have tried a couple of cases for the S2 and while they have been absolutly fine I wanted the official Samsung case.
It is superb and adds virtually no weight or bulk to the phone. The back of the case is covered with small holes and it looks stunning, although I suspect these are there for a more practical reason, to keep the phone ventilated. There is also a cool Galaxy S2 logo in silver at the back.
Please beware though the case does not offer protection to the top or bottom of the phone. While this does not bother me it may be a problem for some.
In my opinion the case offers lightweight protection and is designed to spare your phone from the odd bump or knock. I would not get this if you want hard core protection.
If like me your are over protective of your gadgets and rarely damage them but want something to give you some light protection and look great this may be for you.

This review is from: Made for Samsung’ SAMGS2CCBL metal look Case – black – Galaxy S2 i9100′ (Wireless Phone Accessory)
Disadvantages: 1. Leaves the top and bottom of the phone unprotected. 2. The phone slides like crazy in tables, car, etc. 3. Does not provide much shock impact as the material is hard plastic.
There are however several important advantages over silicone skins. 1. The device stays significantly cooler when charging and playing games compared with silicone skins. 2. Much easier to put and remove from the pocket because it slides much easier (can be a disadvantage also). 3. Keeps the thin and clean look of the device.
This might be useful for SOME (not the original) docking stations but in the end the protective effect is not there.

This review is from: Made for Samsung’ SAMGS2CCBL metal look Case – black – Galaxy S2 i9100′ (Wireless Phone Accessory)
A nice plastic mesh cover plate for the rear of the phone. It does look good – and raises the camera bezel lens off the surface of tables etc and keeps the phone looking thin. All buttons and outputs have very good access. Holding the phone with the case it does seem to provide extra grip in the hand than without it on – without a rubber feel.
It’s probably how Samsung should have made the casing of the phone in the first place.
A couple of minor points.
It’s not a rugged case, It doesn’t protect the corners at the base (power end), nor the top / bottom edges. In short it’s just helping the back cover from getting scraped and the camera lens raised. I can imagine that the grill holes will capture dust / dirt but .. no biggy there.
I’ll use this case for work / home use.. and my rugged full on rubber jacket for when I’m on vacation or at the beach.
