timsweb Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 Ordered mine the other day and will be getting it next week! :) Was wondering where did you find the Samsung cases on-line? I ordered the one with the curve on last night from Amazon and have now seen in your review of it that it is a dust magnet so was wondering where you got the other ones from? Especially the one made my Samsung themselves which you have made photos of, Thanks, Tim Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/995514-samsung-galaxy-s-ii/page/5/#findComment-594003482 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ViZioN Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Well took the plunge and went for one. Had a play with it in the O2 shop and had to! Charging as we speak :p I think I'll end up ordering one of those mesh cases too.

Colin-uk Veteran Posted May 22, 2011 Veteran Share Posted May 22, 2011 do the cases stay on well? mine always used to fall off since they were only held on by small clips.

ViZioN Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 do the cases stay on well? mine always used to fall off since they were only held on by small clips. I don't think my case stays on that well. I'm using the official one from Samsung. Whilst it doesn't actually come off the phone, it unclips from one side when it's in my pocket. I think however the case I've got was a little bent when I got it.

Robbie Khan Reviews Posted June 2, 2011 Author Reviews Share Posted June 2, 2011 Phone has dropped twice on official case and it has stayed on the case perfectly fine. Can't recommend it enough! I also got the Nillkin case from Korea which is also fine but has a slight manufacturing defect: Defect: And my review of the official Samsung car dash mount @ OcUK http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showpost.php?p=19239480&postcount=79 And the MHL Cable that is arriving tomorrow :D Here's a youtube video showing what can be done: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/995514-samsung-galaxy-s-ii/page/5/#findComment-594035676 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matrix XII Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 Don't let the "fragmentation" FUD fool you, and Samsung was pretty good at getting updates released, it was at least here in the US the carriers that screwed us over I wouldn't say it's fooling me really, but I know what you are saying. The problem is that every carrier or country has different updates and those updates are released in varying times in the year. With iPhone it's uniform, when it's released to iTunes, then everyone has it. I know Android will get better, and I'll definitely look at getting an Android handset next time I have an upgrade.

c3ntury Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 This phone I think sets the standard for high-end Android phones for the next 8 or so month, brilliant phone that can actually standup against its iOS rival from the looks of it.

No need for the custom rom to remove apps just root it, However, if you want to get rid of touchwiz you will most likely have to use a custom Rom Keep in mind that Samsung gave an unlocked unit to the folks that make Cyanogen mod so I would expect soon for there to be a Working Version of Cyanogen mod for the device.
