Let\u2019s rock on.<\/p>\n<h3>QDOS Titanium Case<\/h3>\n<p>The next case is the stylish <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/qdos-titanium-case-for-samsung-galaxy-s2-30477\">QDOS Titanium<\/a>. Sadly it isn\u2019t actually made of Titanium, but it does feature extremely rugged plastic that will protect your phone from scratches and drops. The back has a eye-catching brushed metal look, while the sides have been dimpled to make your phone easier to grip. <img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-14694\" title=\"big titanium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/big-titanium.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/big-titanium.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/big-titanium-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/big-titanium-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/big-titanium-60x60.jpg 60w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/> The QDOS is also just 2mm thick, making it barely increase the size of your already slim Samsung Galaxy S2. The front of the phone is also left free, meaning that you\u2019ll likely want to pick up a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/samsung\/galaxy-s2\/screen-protectors\">Samsung Galaxy Sii Screen Protector<\/a> to protect against frontal scratches.<\/p>\n<p>All in all, QDOS\u2019 Titanium Case is one of the most solid-looking yet thin cases I\u2019ve seen, boasting excellent back-and-sides protection and a very cool look. You can also get a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/qdos-steel-case-for-samsung-galaxy-s2-30181\">Steel variant<\/a> of this case, providing the same protection with an even more rugged-looking back.<\/p>\n<p><em>For more information and photos, check out the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/qdos-titanium-case-for-samsung-galaxy-s2-30477\">QDOS Titanium Case<\/a>\u00a0product page.<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>Sena UltraSlim Pouch<\/h3>\n<p>As we\u2019ve covered in our top fashionable cases story, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/sena-ultraslim-pouch-for-samsung-galaxy-s2-black-30229\">Sena UltraSlim Pouch<\/a> is a new design by California\u2019s Sena Cases. This high end leather case, made specifically for the Galaxy S2, looks great with extremely slim leather in four colours (white, black, tan, and an extremely gorgeous red). <img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-14695\" title=\"big ultraslim\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/big-ultraslim1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/big-ultraslim1.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/big-ultraslim1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/big-ultraslim1-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/> It\u2019s a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/samsung\/galaxy-s2\/cases\">Samsung Galaxy S2 pouch<\/a> design, meaning that you\u2019ll have to take your phone out of the case in order to use it. While this is slightly inconvenient, it means that there are no bulky flaps or fastenings to get in the way, and as a result the UltraSlim is a dramatically slim case, barely bigger than the Galaxy S2 itself.<\/p>\n<p>The high quality leather used on the outside will provide protection from scratches and accidental drops, whilst the inner velvet lining cushions your phone and even gently brushes it each time you take it in or out of the case. The UltraSlim is an extremely slim and fashionable case, and deserves top plaudits for achieving such a deliciously well fitting design.<\/p>\n<p><em>For more information and photos, check out the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/sena-ultraslim-pouch-for-samsung-galaxy-s2-black-30229\">Sena UltraSlim Pouch<\/a>\u00a0product page.<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>Case-Mate Barely There<\/h3>\n<p>Top manufacturer Case-Mate\u2019s slimline effort is called \u2018<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/case-mate-barely-there-for-samsung-galaxy-s2-i9100-black-29458\">Barely There<\/a>\u2019. As you might expect, this case sacrifices the more advanced protective features of other, bulkier cases for a mind-numbingly slim and light design. <img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-14696\" title=\"big barely there\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/big-barely-there.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/big-barely-there.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/big-barely-there-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/big-barely-there-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/> The Barely There uses a thin, impact-resistant flexible plastic shell to protect your phone from scratches and scrapes. The minimal case covers the back and corners of the S2, only increasing the size of the phone where it is really necessary.<\/p>\n<p>This efficient, space-saving design lends a modern look to the phone, and a massive selection of eight colours (including premium options such as black or silver brushed aluminium) means that you can show off your own style.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not rare that a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/samsung\/galaxy-s2\/cases\">Samsung Galaxy S2 case<\/a> lives up to its name, but in the case of the Barely There you don\u2019t really need to say much else!<\/p>\n<p><em>For more information and photos, check out the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/case-mate-barely-there-for-samsung-galaxy-s2-i9100-black-29458\">Case-Mate Barely There<\/a>\u00a0product page.<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>Flexishield Skin<\/h3>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/flexishield-skin-for-samsung-galaxy-s2-i9100-solid-black-28774\">Flexishield Skin<\/a> is actually a full body screen protector, offering the smallest-possible case that still provides the level of scratch protection that you need. <img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-14697\" title=\"big flexishield\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/big-flexishield.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/big-flexishield.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/big-flexishield-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/big-flexishield-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/> The skin, which is available in an bevvy of colours, has cutouts in all the right places and has a simple, unadorned look that will please minimalists. The skin is also coated to prevent slippage.<\/p>\n<p>Where other cases have logos and advanced features no one will use, the Flexishield Skin provides the minimum of protection in the minimum of space. Excellent.<\/p>\n<p><em>For more information and photos, check out the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/flexishield-skin-for-samsung-galaxy-s2-i9100-solid-black-28774\">Flexishield Skin<\/a>\u00a0product page.<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>Slimline Carbon Fibre<\/h3>\n<p>This <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/slimline-carbon-fibre-style-flip-case-for-samsung-galaxy-s2-30045\">Slimline Carbon Fibre<\/a> case, made exlusively for Mobile Fun, gives a luxurious look and feel through a thin and trim design backed with a stylish carbon fibre effect.
