Can't decide between..
-Samsung Galaxy S II TOUGH Case
-SGP Steinheil Ultra Capsule Case
-SGP Steinheil Ultra Silke Case

i think i need to go to a shop and see and feel for myself only can decide.. just online pictures very hard to tell...

1 Utama should have right? Maybe other brands though..

Guys, I just wanna ask a quick question. I just installed Lite'ning ROM on my device. Whenever I press the power button to lock my phone, does the screen go off with a 'flash effect' before it turned blank? Is this one of the features of the ROM?

its just a feature too look great... thumbup.gif

So, quick reviews are in order.

S-Line Grey Translucent - Cheap. Fit is okay and cutouts are acceptable. Side patterns are a great plus, as they add oodles of grip. The semi matte back means that it's not really a fingerprint magnet, and there's just enough transparent bits to show off the back of your SGS2. Buttons are stiff and hard to press though. Material likely to yellow over time. USB port a bit cramped, did not fit my USB-OTG wire without some adjustments.

Epikcase Jet Black - Cheap and generally similar to the above, except that it's glossy black and attracts fingerprints like moths to an open flame. The plain black feels and looks a tad boring. Has the the cramped USB issue too.

SGP Ultra Capsule - Except for two glaring faults and the fact that it's a fingerprint magnet, this is a work of art. Cutouts are examplary and the glittery finish feels exclusive. Buttons are super easy to use too. The USB port cutout is roomy and can fit everything.

Now, for the bad part - the thing is loose. Not so loose that your SGS2 will fall off, but if you're a like me, the looseness can be felt clearly and it WILL drive you nuts. Secondly, the lanyard hole is tiny and a hassle to use (I had to mutilate mine). Also, the corner hole is a disaster waiting to happen.

BUT, keep in mind we ARE technically using cases for the wrong phone as far as SGP is concerned. I'll be eagerly waiting for the world spec SGS2 cases from SGP.

SGP Ultra Optics - This is a WONDERFUL SP. It's even better then my old PowerSupport Matte on my old i4. It's darned clear and you never really see fingerprints on your screen. It's also matte enough to not reflect your own face while you're typing.

BUT, keep in mind that if you're the type of person to type while looking REALLY close at your screen (or just the particular type), the ultra optics have a very, very fine grid pattern to it, which is probably the microlense array itself.

On our not so retina screens, it's not really THAT noticeable however.

Samsung Battery and Charger - Samsung original korean spec batteries, with near field communications written on the back - and no it doesn't magically enable NFC lol. The battery charger also doubles as a stand, nice. I got from exportprive.com.

ultra optic is anti fingerprint? i thought SGP Matte is anti fingerprint.. hmm.gif

Before I installed Lite'ning ROM, I already have my phone rooted with CF-4 KF1.
I think it should be to safe skip to Step 2 (just follow the steps in xda on how to flash Lite'ning) and you'll have Lite'ning ROM installed in no time.
This is from my experience though. Do it at your own risk.

no need root..just straight flash litening rom..the rom itself is rooted..

Successfully rooted using superoneclick following the step by step guide written by Uncle Benny on the first page.
Installed Original Kernel too.  biggrin.gif

I'm thinking of installing TK 0.3.7 ROM But I cant understand the line here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125140

1. Flash a custom kernel with CWM, eg. this

Does this means we have to flash CWM before installing the ROM?

yes..
downloading TK rom..since benny said it is good..i would like to try it..

Hi guys,

Please allow me to post 1 off-topic post here.
These are some questions that I always wanted to know more in order to advise my friends. As I have not used an iPhone before, I don't want to simply say the wrong things about iPhone.

If I post these in Iphone thread, they will probably throw me out. So, I hope  you guys here who have used Iphone before but now changed to our SGS2 can advise me the following:

For Iphone users, how do they get around/ resolve the following limitatons/ issues? Can they do it? If yes, how?
1) To transfer files to a PC / Notebook using ordinary USB port?

2) To transfer any files via Bluetooth to another phone like Nokia, Sony Ericsson, etc?

3) To watch Website with Flash?

4) If battery spoilt after 1-year warranty, can they just replace the battery easily? Buy and put in yourself?

5) To use video call but 3G (not Wifi)? and to other phones besides iPhone? Possible?

6) To do 3G tethering - ie act as a wifi modem, so that any PC or phone can hook on to the 3G data and surf the Net?

7) To watch any type of video and picture format like SGS2? ie mkv, avi, flv, divx etc?

8) To change their Homescreen and launcher style other than just changing the static wall paper?
In my mind, I think some of the items cannot be done...but some Iphone lovers claim that they can jailbreak. Does jailbreaking allow them to do all the above?

Thanks for educating me.....good for my own knowledge in case my friends ask me about Iphone versus SGS2....

if they have the 3rd party apps why not? if no 3rd party apps..cannot do the thing you listed..

if your phone is rooted, you can backup all your apps with titanium and restore all apps after installing new rom. usually it will take me less than 5 minutes to restore all my apps. hence it it never a hassle for me to install new rom

i know..i tried backup all..but titanium doesnt backup al.. doh.gif

Guys, I'm trying to bulk the SGP Samsung Galaxy S2 Case Neo Hybrid Series. The package will also include a Steinheilâ„¢ Ultra Crystal Film.
I will take in 10 units at a time and the estimated price is RM100 (shouldn't be more than that) including Pos Laju.
Will bring in more if the demand is good. The available colors are listed below:
