where did you hear that?
The heavier you make it the more weight comes down on it when and if you drop it the glass its strong but not indestructible
Still flashing , thanks to odin & tw
The Stealthguards "full body" screen protector adds just enough heft to the phone to make it feel nice in the hand. It's actually the only reason I keep it on. It only adds a few grams, but it's enough to make the phone feel not-so-cheap.
My question is "WHY?"
Light and cheap is two different things.

If anyone installs this, I'd be interested to hear if it affects the GPS antenna...or maybe it can't get worse!
I use a "mesh" cover available in multiple colors. They add just enough weight and thickness to overcome the "thin and light" feeling in larger hands.
There are cheap ones for a couple bucks and official "Galaxy S" ones that cost US$10-15.
I use the official one (black) and it does the job.
Some like the feel of the extended battery packs...

The cases that T-Mobile had at launch add a substantial amount of weight. It will make it thicker though... But, it's protected and heavier.
If I were you id get this case http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=772826 its cheap and it makes the phone heavier and its a great case
I bought the Body Glove chrome/flex case when i got the device and love it. Has added substantial thickness and heft without making it pocket heavy. It has a fully removable clip that rotates and has an adjustable kickstand that works well in either vertical or landscape mode. Also the clip acts as an excellent finger hold for when gaming or typing along with a gungrip/no slip style rubber backing plate.
Another bonus is it comes with a blank so you can completely remove clip and the stud it connects to, leaving the back flush.
Also google it. It does look good and definitely provides protection. I like how the chrome bezel is high enough to protect the screen if you put/drop it screen down, yet thin enough it doesnt get in the way.
All in all I give the case a 5/5 star rating.
It's nice for the phone to be heavier because if you're in the store and put it down you notice when you're walking away that your phone isn't in you hand if you've been fumbling bags, etc. and got a phone call while shopping. Like my HD2. There's no way I could have forgotten that thing when I had it, because of the weight. It's like walking out of the house without a ball cap. You never really think about it when it's there, but when it isn't you know it.
The vibrant does feel extremely cheap and way too light IMO without a cover on it. It's just too easy to lose or forget. Not to mention the plastic feels yucky if it's hot outside or you've been doing something that makes your hands perspire.
So I got a body glove.
HD2 was different, cause of the Aluminum. Didn't want or need a case for it.
Add some rocks to the charm loop.

Tape some lead weights to the back of it but i dont see where that would make it feel more pricey.
I love the weight of my phone and with a case on it, it feels solid.

I used lead tape strips on my racket when I played tennis. You could put that stuff on the inside of the battery cover.

Yes. We've concluded that the weight with a case is fine.
The weight and feel of the phone without a case is not.
Well, I guess some people can dig it.
I didn't have a problem with my Aria or HD2. Those phones felt solid in my hand without a case.
The Vibrant doesn't. Feels like it could fall apart, so I didn't leave the store without a case when I got it.
And when I had to get a new one because of my first one getting snatched, I had the case waiting for it when it came in the mail

Good news and bad news
Good news: Just been into Carphone Warehouse. And discovered Talk Mobile do a tariff. 12 month, £30/month, 400 mins, texts and Unlimited data with no fair usage limit. Handset £179. That in my eyes is a cracking deal.
Bad news: Handset looks nice, but has the ergonomics of a shoe box. Does not feel nice in the hand at all. Compared to my HD2. I maybe use to how my fone feels, but the edges just felt too square.
Also i tested both phones on moneysavingexpert.com homepage. The colours were perfect on the SG2. HD2 colours looked washed out. But I was testing clarity of the small letters. Both were identical. Iphone 4 is the yardstick for this and it fails.
So im passing on this and waiting for the HTC Sensation. The look and feel is paramount, u cant touch memory, so shouldnt miss it too much.
SG2= ergonomic fail.
I want to view pages without having to zoom all the time and read pdfs. Nice phone but no cigar, this time

Having just upgraded from a HD2 yesterday I don't agree at all - the Galaxy S II feels a lot nicer in the hand. However, thanks to it's plastic construction, there is no doubt it feels less sturdy than HTC's offering. I get the impression that, despite the Gorilla Glass, one drop of this thing onto a hard surface would lead to a world of hurt. I'm not saying that is definitely the case but it feels that way.
I have a FlexiShield skin on order and I will feel a lot more comfortable once my phone is in it. I bought one for my HD2 18 months ago when I first got it and it saved it from at least a couple of drops. Superb cover.
On a side note, is anyone going to bother with a screen protector? I have never had a Gorilla Glass phone before so don't know the likelihood of it scratching. I much prefer touch-screen phones with no protector but for obvious reasons it's not a good idea.
lots of people aren't bothering with ascreen protector. they bring a good point that... anything that can scratch the gorilla glass will probably pass through any screen protector anyway. having said that... i'm getting one. i have one for my GS as well.
as for the GS II i just may not put it on yet
I like the shape of the sgs 2, very thin and light makes it ideal shape.
Yeah, we really needed to know this. Nobody is forcing you to buy anyone phone so if you don't like this one there is no need to run home, jump on the interwebz and make a thread on the forum about it.
I hope you like which ever phone you do get.

Dropped my SGS multiple times on hard flooring, concrete and Asphalt and despite thinking one drop and it was a goner the thing doesn't have a scratch on the screen, body still looks new and works perfectly. I wonder if the SGS II is the same way but I will not be dropping it anytime soon to find out.
I love my Galaxy SII but it seems that you might be better off with a 7in tablet such as the Galaxy Tab or maybe a bigger tablet such as the Advent Vega or iPad.
I personally couldn't read PDFs on a screen smaller than 7in for very long.
This is good info for me. Nexus One owner and I sported an HD2 for a few weeks and loved the feel and size, knowing it had the dimensions of my next phone (G2x was a failure for me).

yeh I know what your on about I went from iPhone 4 to gs2 and text is so hard to read with no reflow option, but I gain so much more with customization, and the weight is great, the iPhone feels like such a brick now.
in saying that I had a hd2 and really missed it after I got the iPhone, thought I could get that feeling back with the sgs2 but it's not the same hd2 is a quality product.
enjoy your sensation and thanks for being honest in the lions den lol
i do agree with the [OP] regarding the "ergonomic fail" thing.
..and this is coming from a Samsung phone fanatic like me
personally, i don't like at all the shell design of the SGS2, i'll definitely not use the SGS2 naked, it looks simply disgusting... seriously, for the lack of a better word to describe its design.
unfortunately i love all the technology packed inside that "disgusting" shell so is either take it or leave it, and i choose to take it
so the ergonomic fail became a non issue for me, as i'll be replacing the case, and using with a protection case, and other accessories i always slap onto all of my phones; i praise the after market accessories people to make the impossible possible

Disgusting? Seriously? Dear me, it takes all sorts I guess and the world would be a boring place if we all had the same opinions.
IMO: I like very much the design, I can hold it in one hand and even type with one hand, it holds perfectly in my right hand... Even ergonomically I like it. It's simply perfect for me.
It's up to you to choose another phone. I would never choose another now. Especially HTC sensation which have many things less than Galaxy S2.
+10 I find the design very nice unlike some here
And I would never change it for nothing on the market that's just a piece of beauty, a very thin piece actually
What I don't understand is the point of this topic ? If you feel it not as you want anyone else could feel it in the hand differently like me. And many peeps have already said they like the feel in the hand in this thread so your opinion can't be taken for facts until someone interested in it hold it for real :/ anyway...
Pitching in on the ergonomics of the device being awesome, for me anyway. If you have really small hands then this will probably be a pretty bad phone for you, since it wont fit comfortably into a normal grip. That aside, for people with average or large hands, this design works very well. You can keep a very firm grip on it easily, and one handed operation works too, all while having a 4.3" screen.
Not sure about the people saying it feels cheap or anything, unless you correlate cheap with light - because it's very light. If this is the case, you can buy a nice big heavy cover for the device to make it feel heavier and sturdier - but that seems really stupid to me. A phone is meant to be mobile, the lighter the better.
Phones won't be perfect until they're razor thin, bendable, and weight as much as paper! And the SGS2 is firmly on the right track.
To me I'm loving everything about the phone, ergonomics included. I don't have huge hands but find the phone very easy to hold and use for one handed operation.
As for a screen protector I will say a big NO. I work for a Verizon retailer and we have a demo line hooked up to their version of the first galaxy s, the fascinate, that also has gorilla glass. Being inquisitive and it being a demo line, I decided to test the durability of gorilla glass. Grabbed a phillips head screw driver and preceded to try and scratch the screen. Repeatedly I scraped it, scratched back and forth quickly, and somewhat violently tried to stab it. Wiped off the screen with a micro-fiber cloth and not one scratch or mark on it, gorilla glass is really some remarkable stuff.
I'm not saying its impossible to damage it, but it will take some serious effort. Since most of you guys probably take care of your phones anyway, with gorilla glass your screen will be fine. A screen protector on gorilla glass just seems redundant .
Problem is... the old galaxy didn't have an oleophobic coating. You try taking a screwdriver to that and the coating WILL come off. The screen will be resilient, but not the coating, sorry.

Hey guys,
2 weeks ago I bought a brand new galaxy note 2, but by now I already have some scratches on the back cover and some on the steel cornering? So is it just misusage or is it that Samsung have easily scratched covers? And I only dropped the phone like once so I don't think that all of these scratches came from misusage... Any ideas?
I had a sgs2 before and it got totally destructed by scratches and tearings...
Are you carrying diamond tipped nails in your pocket?
I have had my note 1 for 9 months and have dropped it a couple of times on concrete and ceramic tiled floors and it still looks 99% brand new. I don't usually put anything else with it in my pockets but it has come in contact with keys on several occasions.
Do you live in a sandy area? How do you carry it normally on your person?
Now that you mention it, I have a nasty scratch on my back cover too.
Never had a problem with my Note 1. I wonder if it is the glossy coating.
I'm using a case now though - much nicer to hold with a textured back.

I really wish Samsung wouldve put a rubberized backing on the note II considering it'd have less of a chance to slip out of your hands which is pretty high considering how big this phone is...

In your case, I'd suggest you check out Otterbox cases when they become available for the Note 2.
Well I think if samsung uses steel or aluminum cases like nokia our phone would feel and look better and will still remain in excellent condition even after couple of drops.. But unfortunately samsung uses glossy plastic which might not break as easily but will definitly not remain a "new phone" definition after a month or two...

Give it a rest officer, if the gn2 has a back thats like the gs3 then yes its flimsy. samsung is notorious for cutting corners likr this to save money.
But with that said its usualy to provide better quality in other aspects.

Very happy.
People complain about plastic being a poor build quality choice. It's just a matter of opinion. I don't feel that it has to be metal/aluminum/whatever to be nice build quality. If anything, I feel plastic is more durable, lighter, and we get awesome internals. People don't complain about the mass amount of plastic BMW uses everywhere in their cars, but people also don't know enough to realize it.

Exactly. People also don't know that the cover of a lot of phones are also actually plastic, just with a different coating to make it feel "premium". I could care less if its plastic and flimsy, there's a reason for it being that way. Its more durable.

Hi.
How solid does the S4 really feel like and compare to the S3 and Note 2? Does it creak after a while of use?
I've owned the S2, the S3 and even both Notes, and while they are good phones, one thing that annoys me is the creaking of the body, especially on the back. this may not be the case right after you get it, but give it time and use: creaking is bound do ucurr.
I get from what I read and watch that the S4 is not much different - and I don't mind plastic at all- but I'd like to know if it has the same problems that it's not built solid enough to avoid creaking when you hold it strongly or push the back.
I understand the ring around the side is not actually metal, just plastic posing like it - but maybe Samsung managed to work it out better this time and the CEO was right when he said "... the galaxy s4 is slimmer, yet stronger, less to hold yet more to see", or as it was displayed behind him "Slimmer, lighter, and more solid".
What do you think? And how does it really feel and handle?
Hoping on some good feedback!

Hello,
I don´t have the answer, but similar qustion - how tough Galaxy´s 4 body is? I mostly carry a phone in a pocket, so I´m affraid of the break (glass...) Around the body is a metal stripe - will it support the solidity?

I can only give you a good guess, since even people testing this by dropping the phone are only to a degree relevant since it much depends on luck and on how the phone hits the ground.
However some things to consider:
- The "metal stripe" is not out of metal but also plastic (so similar conditions as on the S3)
- The galaxy S4 reportedly uses Gorilla Glass 3, which is somewhat tougther than the glass on the S3 (but I do not consider it 100% confirmed its gorilla glass 3 since I've read reports that the first phones to have it will hit in summer, not now in spring)
- Tests and experiences on the s3 show that it could easily break
In the end I think the S4 may be marginally harder to break, but not much.
Every phone with a glass screen can break rather easily when you drop it, and it does not matter hugely which one you buy.
The only protection is a good case and cover foil, and that will only reduce the risk of it breaking, but it cannot be avoided completey.
I guess nobody in this forum is got hands on some review sample?
AW: [Q] What's the build quality really feel like?
I hope it feels like a S2 in terms of stability. Not like a S3.

I'm pretty sure they will all be using Gorilla Glass 3, from day one.
I hope so
s3 screen is a bit embossed outside of the corners and is not actually flat, s4 looks pretty flat along with screen a bit inside the outer rim similar to galaxy s2 . With that we can safely assume it should be on par with s2 which is rock solid.
So I played with one of these in the store but those fools staple the phone to the display so you never really get a sense of the ergonomics. Whatever happened to those olde dummy handsets that existed for that exact reason?
As a 6'4" man who hates skinny jeans but does have a few sets of dress pants with slightly shallow pockets, will I need to pull it out of my pocket whenever I sit?
Are there any tricks that will let me text one handed?
And finally the S-pen felt really cheap and would fit better in my hand if it telescoped a little, has anyone made an aftermarket spen with a higher quality feel? Or just one that telescopes a few inches? That pen is for tiny hands but the phone is for Shaq hands, cmon!

I can't tell for sure, but I'm around the same height as you and it can get a bit uncomfortable sitting down and having the phone in your pocket. Although this also depends on the size of the pockets.
One handed use can be achieved by using going into the settings. Go Settings > Controls > One-handed operation. This will allow you to have a resizable screen that is half the size of the full screen.
As for a aftermarket spen, I've never seen one, but I'm sure they exist! Maybe someone else can help you with that one.
You cannot put the phone in your front pockets and sit comfortably. That won't work. However, you can have it in your backpocket and be relatively comfortable. It's not really that much bigger than a 5" phone.
