I've recently gotten my hands on SGP Neo Hybrid for Samsung Galaxy S2 i9100. I chose the yellow colour because... the other colours are not as nice and black is out of stock. I got it from online, for roughly SGD 10. There's discounts everywhere as this is already an outdated product. I still love the S2 deeply, and see no reason to switch phones unless it dies.

If you have read my previous post regarding my current SGP Neo Hybrid EX (white), you'll know that I can actually switch the colours around.

Let me lay them out.



The black and yellow is the new one, and the two white ones are the old ones.
I then proceeded to switch them around.




 Well, as expected from SGP cases, everything fits together perfectly and feels really good in my hands. The only complain I have about it is that the rubber is too thick. Though it makes it very comfortable to hold in my hands, the extra border makes it slightly less attractive.

I've decided to stick primarily with the black and yellow combo.


Sadly, I couldn't get a good picture of the screen, but I've themed my Android to be orange. As it's closest to yellow. (Why not yellow? Because it'll be too bright)
I'll just include my current homescreen anyway.



Yes, I know that the homescreen extremely simple. But I don't really use my phone very often these days.


If you're wondering how I themed the dialer, then it's simple. Because I'm using Cyanogenmod 9 at the moment. The inbuilt theme-ing engine makes it relatively straight forward to switch between themes.






There's still one more case that hasn't reached my doorstep yet. It's from a different vendor but with the same concept, I shall wait patiently for it to arrive while I use this yellow case!

My SGP Steinheil Ultra Optics screen protector for Samsung Galaxy S2 finally arrived in my hands today after 17days. It costs SGD $20.

First thought I had when I installed it on my phone was, "Damn, I should've just gotten this from the start"


SGP has a premium screen protector series called Steinheil. I say premium because it's really the better ones you can find, competing against giant brands like Invisishield by Zagg (known for it's durability).

There are 3 types of protectors that they sell
Ultra Crystal
// Best clarity, best looking and easiest to smudge.
Ultra Optic
// Oleophobic coating. Good clarity and resistant to finger prints.
Ultra Fine
// Similar to matte. Decent clarity. Resistant to finger prints.

I chose Ultra Optic because the i9100 has a really good screen, I don't want to cover it up with something that destroys the image. But I hate finger prints as well, so at the very least I want to have as little finger prints as possible.

It performed splendidly.






As it can see, it diffuses the light slightly, which is a good thing as it will be slightly more visible under direct light. The anti-fingerprint coating works magically as well. Sure, it's still possible to get your dirty greasy stains on it if you try hard enough, but from my testing, it will be clean as a slate under normal use.

If you remember, my case is from SGP as well. After buying 2 of their products, I've became a fan of them, it's really premium stuff that's worth the money.

The only downside is that, you probably can't find it in Singapore. It's made in Korea and I can't seem to find any shops that sell their products. (except a few, iPhones) So you'll probably have better luck trying to get them online.

Overall, I'll give it a 9/10!
