The images are on the previous page on those UK sellers. You can look at YouTube and search for the pop cases they'll look similar.

hopefully not. case mate is a pretty reputable brand, never had any complaints from any of their products and i dont think that the Pop case will disappoint.

I hope not too but a bunch of case an the plastic an tpu cases seem to mark up the phone only the silicone ones seem to not hurt the phone

well those are cheap eBay cases besides.. if it was to cause a scratch or whatever.. it'd take a few days to actually tell if it does scratch the phone or it could of been there before.
Co-molded materials of plastic and soft rubber unite to create a hard case with a soft touch. The lightweight plastic body of the Pop! protects from unforeseeable impacts, while keeping your screen lifted away from surfaces. The Pop! features contemporary color pairings to create a modern look for your device. Rubber sides make for an easy grip. Inside, the soft material hugs your Nexus S like a glove. Not even Batman and Robin are that tight.

from the description.. it doesnt seem like it was scratch, and besides.. the "Pop" is a universal case for many other phones, im sure it would be relatively similar for the Nexus S
personally.. im not too worried, case mate has never ceased to disappoint me

Alright. I just got it in the mail and opened it up. Some things that are easily noticeable
- Contour Case
- Comes with Screen protectors (as every other Case Mate case) & Screen cloth wipe
- Grip does feel better with the sides.
- Cut out holes are perfectly fine.
- Just a little bit bulker but not too much. Maybe a little more than the Tough Case.
- Power / Volume are a lot easier to press.
- Phone isn't all up on the case. But it isn't loose at all.

Overall, a great case. However, after removing the phone from the case several times (over a month or two), the rubber around the corners is tearing.
Will probably end up with a different case that doesn't get destroyed by removal.

Ditto.....loved my pop but it fell apart after just a few weeks.

Metal bumper case question.. For those who own one.

Does your metal bumper case have a slight raise from the side to prevent scratches to both front and back especially the camera lens?
Do you think it would fit with a slim case?
Please post a link where you bought it.
Thank you very much and pardon my engrish!

I bought one a couple of weeks ago. I think the aluminium case gives good screen protection, but although it is reasonably low profile the few millimetres each side do seem to make the Note 2 feel much bigger. I personally don't think it's the most elegant case, they look OK from the front, but the back doesn't seem to follow the flow of the stock battery case too well.
Don't get me wrong, the phone fits in perfectly without any movement but not my cup of tea. I lose one bar on the phone signal when the case is on, NFC is fine.
Possibly a like or hate accessory!

Thanks for all the replies. That was my main concern. I wanted a metal bumper case that has a slight rise to protect the camera lens. I'm going to buy a ballistic 3 layer protection case since GN2 can be easily damage even at waist height drop.
Why ballistic? Because its relatively cheap, unlike otterbox and offers awesome drop protection. Had one for E4GT and money worth spending.
Thanks again.

i use that one. slight raises on the front and back to protect the camera. It adds a little weight to the phone but its not unbearable. I actually like it. I also got the armror suit military shield screen and back protector. Screen protector was not compatible with the case, cause when I removed the phone from the case, the sliding portion of the front peeled the screen protector off. and the added thickness of the armorsuit full body protector makes it very snug in the case. probably the reason why it the screen protector peeled off as I was trying to remove it.

these bumper cases, esp the metal ones.. are they easy to remove/replace? As a frequent traveler, I switch batteries every night to make sure that i'll always have a fully charged spare.. I'd hate to use the bumper case where you need a small screw to open (i think I saw a bumper case like that once).

Where'd you buy yours? I'm looking for a coffee colored metal door.

If theres any UK users in this thread that wants a black aluminium bumper for free then let me know and PM me your address. I bought one to try along with a selection of cases but am unlikely to use it. Its a great fit for the phone and is a screwless design.......the front plate slides up and snaps into place. I bought it from the link below.

Casemate Tough Case - Pics/Review

The Tough cases has always been the best I've owned. They have changed the design up for our Note 2 (just like trident, I feel these companies are debuting the latest and greatest with our phone). So I've reviewed it below.
Made a separate review thread here, easier to post a bunch of pics.
http://www.teamvenum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=686

Thank you for the info.
My 2 cents: can't see how this is "tough". I used to work in Retail and we carried these Case mate's for other phones, and i can't see how it is better protection than an Otterbox (though sadly they make ugly cases for all the phones I own), or even Ballistic. They seem kinda of .. regular.

40 bucks seems kinda high for a case like that...I know eventually they will come to amazon for a lot cheaper..

For my S2 I had every case there was and it was always the best for being rugged, slim, and awesome grip. The name may make it sound like a contender with the otterbox defender, but its certainly more in the commuter class if thats what your looking for. The design looks different than previous versions, just hope it works out in a good way.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium

I will say one thing about case-mate, they seem to have good build quality from past products I've tried. They have less pronounced mold lines etc.
Otterbox's are riddled with ugly mold lines everywhere or at least their recent products.

Oops didnt see this thread when i created mine hehe ...
Pre-order is available @ shop andrioid Canada. Another promising looking case. Reminds me of a mix of the Body Glove and Diztronic Case.

Re: Now Available - Casemate Tough Case
I've dropped my S2 multiple times from high, even on the road once getting out from the car. Never had a scratch on my device. IMHO, the greatest feature of the tough case is the grippiness of the textured back. None if the hybrid case out there have this grippy texture. Even the ballistic or otterbox have a somewhat smooth back.
Been waiting for this case for a long time!

Got tired of waiting for a UAG case order so I've decided to order a tough case today.
Took the blue one and It looks great.
You can buy it for 20$ instead of 40$, all you need to do is to put in your order the coupon code "friends50" and It takes off 50% of your case order. Enjoy!!
I can't wait for it to arrive to my country.

Can someone tell me the size of the hole in the case around the headphone port? I have a set of Shure In-ear monitors I use and they have a fat body around the plug, about 3/8".
I have modified the Samsung case to make it work, but looks ugly. Kinda matches the side I cut to get the flip cover to work with it.
Looking for a new case and this one just came on my radar.

I put calipers on it and it hit 3/8" without squeezing it. I may have to shave a bit off the plug, there is a lot of rubber surrounding the plug.

Samsung Protective Bumper Cover Plus Case - feedback please

Does anyone have this one? I had a bumper on an iPhone previously and liked how it gave it some grab when I set it down on a table. But also gives some protection while keeping it closer to naked.

Is it pretty thin? Also, is the bumper flush with the case on the back? I had a Belkin one on my games horrible.

Don't have it myself, but heard it scratches and very slippery.

I have this case and it's great. My coworker has the black one and it does scratch quite easily and is noticeable, but I have the white one, so it's not too bad. It's slim and protects the screen well. It's not as nice as the OEM S3 one but it works well and matches nicely.

I currently use the black one. It has a great design because the back is glossy which helps you slide the phone in and out of the pocket with ease and offers protection with minimal bulk. You can also put the screen face down without worry of scratching the screen. The buttons are also covered by the bumber so you dont need to worry about the buttons wearing down from moisture.

Just to let you know, if you don't already, that this is more of a case than a bumper. Everyone keeps throwing around the word bumper. This case does have a back. It is not a bumper in the sense that it only surrounds the sides of the phone.

Yes. Thanks for clarifying in the thread though. I'm going to give it a try and will report back. I'm not a fan of cases in general, but I dropped my last s3 and it was forever scarred with a scrape on the corner of the bezel.
Seems like it would be cool of Samsung made it so you removed the oem back and then attached the bumper case using the clips. Vs adding a second back.

Best "grippy" case???

I've got the Case-Mate Tough Case and even though it has the little bump pattern on it it's way too slippery... it's not rubbery feeling like it looks in the pictures...
And I've spent the better part of a week reading reviews and searching and can't find a good answer... So what's the best case for GRIP? Preferably it should give decent protection, not be too big (I don't want something like the huge Otterbox or Seidio Active) and have a lip on the front to protect the screen.. other than that I just want it to actually be GRIPPY!!! This phone is huge (it's awesome, but huge) and I really need some grippiness on the back so that I can one-hand it... I've looked at the Aegis, Ballistic, UAG and others but there are mixed reviews as to the actual feel of the outside. I want something that I can lay it in my hand at a slight angle and it won't just slide off... The Case-Mate really checks all the boxes except for the fact that it's just so dang slippery!!
So if you've personally got a case/used one that you find exhibits exceptional "grippability" then toss a dog a bone and hook me up..
Thanks everyone..
(and if you're in the market for a Case-Mate Tough case then I'll make ya a deal....although it's prolly not worth the shipping..lol)

Not sure but I use a Body Glove and its pretty grippy around the sides (not so on the flat back tho). I remember hearing of some adhesive kind of like Flygrip but cheaper kind of like tape/sticker which you could apply to all kinds of different things altho they made some specifically for phones and other devices to give you a better grip .

First off I'll take that case mate if you're in North America definitely not worth the shipping otherwise. Anyway I would assume any tpu case is as grippy as you're going to get but there's a protection trade-off obviously. You could try getting a flygrip or a sling grip. I have the fly on my otterbox/zl setup and it's definitely the best one handed solution I just feel super nerdy using it lol.

PM me if you really want the Case-Mate, I'll prolly keep it until I find something better though, it's slippery but at least it's protected when it falls.. And yeah, I had a Fly Grip, but I made the mistake of selling it with the phone I had at the time, plus I pocket this slab of a phone and I'm not sure I could handle the extra bump on the back...

No rush I'm just a case hoarder lol. If you find something else hit me up.

I don't think anything comes close to a cheap gel rubber case for sheer grippines. There are any number of brands that can be had for 4 bucks shipped and I keep one around for when I want to sit and read manga.
They suck for sliding in and out of a tight pocket though. There is a point of being too grippy.

I went ahead and got a cheapo rubber/silicone case from Ebay.. I figure I can't go wrong trying it when it cost <$6 shipped...

I have this case in black (also a couple of other colors). It has grippy ribbing on the sides and the Android logo on the back is matte ... overall a reasonable balance between grip and something that will go in and out of your pocket.

Does that case have any kind of lip on the front so you can lay the phone on it's screen and it won't touch the surface? I couldn't tell from the pics on that site?

Have you looked at the Case-mate Pop case? This is probably my favorite case I own. It has rubber grips on both sides of the case, and on the lip in the front. I think this may be what you are looking for.

All yhe reviews on that thing say the kickstand is a POS... is it really that bad?.. I probably wouldn't use it but it would kinda suck if I broke it the 1st time I used it... what's your thoughts on it?

The best grippy case and most protective case you will find is I Face case

The kickstand is kind of hard to use but I hardly ever use it. Honestly that wasn't one of the reasons why I decided to buy the case. I had one of these cases on my BlackBerry Bold 9900 before I bought my GN2. I like that my phone feels solid in my hand, it's not too bulky, it's easy to put on/take off and it offers great protection. I already had one drop when my GN2 fell out of my jacket pocket from about three feet to asphalt and the only wrong was my case had a small scough mark. I like the case. This is just my opinion.

Yes, the case has a raised lip around the screen. The lip will keep the screen off a flat surface like a table; it is a significant lip. There are many pictures of this case in the thread where people are showing photos of their cases. Here is a youtube.com video that is pretty good.

I honestly prolly wouldn't use the kickstand that much either... but it's good to know that it's probably not as bad as some of the reviews..

That looks pretty good.. may have to get one if that one from Ebay turns out to be crap..

First off I'll take that case mate if you're in North America definitely not worth the shipping otherwise. Anyway I would assume any tpu case is as grippy as you're going to get but there's a protection trade-off obviously. You could try getting a flygrip or a sling grip. I have the fly on my otterbox/zl setup and it's definitely the best one handed solution I just feel super nerdy using it lol.

Yeah, I thought about getting some of that tape stuff but somehow putting tape on a $500 phone just feels wrong.. but I may have to resort to it...lol.

I actually meant (egrips) since I had seen it recommended in another thread here
Hopefully this might be some help
