For the price tag, I can see how some people may avoid this and opt for the cheaper options. Well, let me tell you, DON’T. You can’t go wrong here, it literally snaps onto your precious S II, with minimal effort and maximum protection.
All the holes and grooves are in the right place, and it’s hard to believe that something so light can be so strong, but it is. In fact, you would hardly know it’s there, and it adds a very slight increase in thickness, but for an already sleek phone, you hardly notice this.
I haven’t dropped it yet, but just from reviews, videos and simply holding it, I can be safe in the knowledge that my phone would be fully protected if I did.
I give this product a solid 5/5.

Having used many cases over the years this is the best by far easy to get of and on. Nice quality toughed plastic and the metal back gives it a good quality feel in your had worth the case by far.

I have been looking for a case like this for my Galaxy S2, even before my phone arrived, having had a similiar case, in acrylic, for my Cowon S9 mp3 player. The Case-Mate Barely There Case is simple, subtle – it fits so well, and is so light that you won’t notice it’s even there, and tough enough to take the impact from the occassional fall onto a pavement. The case simply snaps onto the phone in one easy and satisfying click, and once on seems to fuse seamlessly with the handset. It’s design means that the case does not impinge on the Galaxy S2′s stunning 4.3-inch screen which, being made from extremely durable Gorilla Glass, needs no additional protection itself. All of the cutouts in the case align perfectly with the buttons and ports on the handset, and the case can be left on the phone at all times except when you need to change the SIM, SD-card, or battery. Knowing how easily scuffed the corners of my phone are, and unwilling to put the durability of the battery case to the test, this is a must have purchase for anyone who wants to protect their Galaxy S2 without compromising on it’s sleek and razor thin design.
UPDATE: I HAVE REVISED MY ORIGINAL 5-STAR REVIEW AFTER DISCOVERING THE CHINK IN THIS CASE’S ARMOUR… IT’S UNFORTUNATE, AND EASILY RECTIFIED BY REMOVING THE CASE WHEN YOU NEED A SAT NAV, BUT MY PHONE COULD NOT ESTABLISH A LINK WITH THE GPS SATELLITE WITH THIS CASE ON. DEALBREAKER? NO, BUT IRRITATING, ESPECIALLY IF YOU USE YOUR PHONE AS A SAT NAV AS FREQUENTLY AS I DO.
