Black Cases Compatible with the Genuine Samsung Galaxy S2 Extended Battery

Wednesday, December 7th, 2011

Edit: We’ve tested our top car holders and desk stands compatibility with the extended battery. Check it out!

We’ve been selling our  official Samsung Galaxy S2 Extended Battery Kits like hot cakes, and we’ve just got them back in stock. The 2000 mAh that the extended battery contains means you can go a day and a half without charging, and as it’s made by Samsung it’s ensured to be top quality and a perfect fit.

To save you a bit of time, we’re posting a list of which cases are or aren’t compatible with the slightly enlarged back cover. That means you’ll be able to check if your current case will fit with the new battery, or if you decide to pick up a new one you can make sure that one will fit. We’ve also noted down the colour of the case, so you can make sure it matches your style.

Let’s have a look at that list then, with the research courtesy of the good people at the XDA Developers forum.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 Is Back!

Friday, August 19th, 2011

Just after we published our essential Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 accessories article, we received the news that the well reviewed tablet had been banned from sale in the EU following Apple’s legal action against Samsung in a German district court.

The injunction, which was a preliminary measure before the full hearing of the case, has since been challenged by Samsung, who managed to convince the court that preventing the slate from being sold all over Europe due to the actions of a local court was too much. The injunction has therefore been lifted, and the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 has returned to sale across the EU.

The actual evidence presented by Apple is quite interesting; essentially the crux of their legal argument was that the Galaxy Tab 10.1 was an exact facsimile of the iPad 2, even down to the packaging. (This is certainly a feature of the Samsung Galaxy line; the Samsung Galaxy S2 cases are precisely the same as iPhone 4 packaging, even down to the layout of individual items in the box.)

In one document submitted to the court, they specifically showed how closely the size and proportions of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 case matched that of the iPad 2, claiming that they had the same aspect ratio.

Unfortuantely, the measurements presented appear to be falsified, as you can see in the image to the right. The Samsung Galaxy Tab is presented as having a total aspect ratio of 1.36, although in reality it is much thinner, with an aspect ratio of 1.46. (Aspect ratio in this case refers to the size of the entire chassis, not just the screen).

Once this case kicks off properly, it will be interesting to see how this mistake by Apple is perceived by the court; with luck it won’t stop the deployment of one of the best competitor’s to the iPad 2.

Presumably it’ll be a slam dunk for Samsung; they’ll bring in a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 car holder or Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 cover or something and put in the iPad 2, and stare pointedly as it falls out due to rather obviously being a different shape.

We’ll continue to follow this story as it develops; in the mean time, you’d be wise to pick up a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 just in case Apple do manage to block the Tab from sale in the actual court proceedings from August 25th. You can also check out our earlier accessories article, which listed the best Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 chargers, Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 screen protectors and the like.

Galaxy S2 Case – Inject some colour

Tuesday, June 28th, 2011

The Samsung Galaxy S2 is by far one of the sleekest and most popular handsets on the market.  The only problem though, is that most of the Samsung Galaxy s ii accessories being released are black, so there aren’t many accessories for those who like to add some colour to their handsets.

Thankfully Samsung have released a new batch of Genuine Samsung Galaxy S2 Mesh Cases in three different colours: blue, pink and red.

Genuine Samsung Mesh Galaxy S2 Case

What makes these Samsung Galaxy S2 cases stand apart from others is not only their stylish design but also the fact that the initiative design actually helps the handset to run smoothly. How it does this is by providing heat ventilation through the holes of the mesh, keeping the handset cooler and running for longer.

Each mesh Samsung Galaxy S2 case provides tough protection from scratches and scrapes, without compromising the stylish look of the handset.  For easy attachment and removal the Galaxy S2 cases simply snap on and off; meaning those who like to inject colour into their handset can frequently switch between cases easily.

As the Genuine Samsung Galaxy S2 mesh cases have been made specifically for the S2, you can rest assured that it contains all the relevant cut-out for the features to keep the handset fully functional at all times.  However a Galaxy S2 screen protector is advised for full protection.

POP into a new Samsung Galaxy S2 cover thanks to Case-Mate

Monday, June 27th, 2011

There are an awful lot of Galaxy S ii accessories on the market which help to highlight the phone’s sophistication and style.  The latest offering from Case-Mate the POP, does just this and so much more.

The Case-Mate POP Samsung Galaxy S2 case is the newest addition to the Case-Mate family and the most forward thinking.  It’s made from a high gloss durable plastic, but has rubber sections to provide a better grip on your Galaxy S2, stopping those butterfingers moments.

Another great feature of this Samsung Galaxy S2 cover is that it has a soft, patterned interior material, which hot only absorbs shocks but keeps the back of your handset looking as good as new whilst it’s in the case.

What makes this Samsung Galaxy S ii cover stand apart from the others though, is its unique built in kickstand: a stand which can be ‘popped’ out of the back of the cover making media viewing and web surfing more comfortable.  Once you’ve finished, the stand is simply clicked back into place, flush against the side of the case.

Although a Galaxy S2 screen protector is advised for full protection, the side of the POP case does have a slightly raised bezel, which is designed to help protect your screen if you drop the handset face down.

As expected with all Samsung Galaxy S2 covers, the POP cover has cut-outs for all the ports and features to keep your handset fully functioning, whilst looking stylish and being fully protected.

The Case-Mate POP Cover comes in three different shades: black and grey, white and black and pink and grey, so there’s a POP case for everyone.

Keep your Galaxy Ace fully charged this Easter

Monday, April 18th, 2011

We’ve been getting all in a flutter about the Samsung Galaxy Ace here at Mobile Fun HQ.  It’s sleek design, super powerful processor and amazingly bright screen have been giving me a major case of the green eyed monster.

What I’ve been liking even more though is this helping hand, for the Samsung Galaxy Ace Battery; the Pama Plug n Go Power Portable Charger.

Pama Plug n Go

Luckily for me, the Pama Plug n Go isn’t just for the Galaxy Ace battery, it can be used on practically all phones: from an iPhone 4 to a Sony Ericsson Xperia Play!

The Plug n Go has the power to give most phones two full charges before it needs recharging itself, meaning that if you’re planning a mini-break this Easter, you don’t need to take your bulky charger or your international socket with you; just simply pop the Plug n Go in your handbag and you’re all set!

Another accessory I’m really rating for the Galaxy Ace is this Flexishield Samsung Galaxy Ace case; not only because it’s strong, durable and can be used with the Plug n Go, but because it’s pink!

Galaxy Ace Flexishield

If unlike me, your not a big fan of this pink Galaxy Ace Cover there’s bound to be one that suits you.

To make sure you’ve got 100% protection for your Galaxy Ace, I’d pick up a Galaxy Ace screen protector too.

Now your Galaxy Ace is fully protected and charged, let Easter begin!
