Looks very nice! Adds alittle too much thickness to the border of the phone for my taste, but still a very nice looking bumper.

Thanks for posting those pics...hope you enjoy it!

Makes the phone look a little big. How is it to hold?

Looks great... how's the reception\GPS with the aluminum back cover?

I just ordered aluminum back cover from DX and I'm afraid it'll hurt the GPS performance...

The GPS doesnt work very good with the alu. backcover. at least not in Denmark.
wifi and GSM signal is fine tho.

when you put the phone on the table the lens doesnt touch, either does the screen when you lay it like that.

i have been using this case for a while, it is a bit heavy to me
the worst thing is that the metal bumper will affect the reception a lot

Sweet Armor GS2

So whats the current status ?
Is there an echo when using the above mentioned casing ?
What about influences from the case...anything you noticed since you have it ?

Would also like to buy it, but need more infos from you guys.

Is this a sweet armor one or a knock off?

I don't know for sure. The link was posted in another thread so I passed it on. He rated it pretty highly against other aluminum bumpers.

Looking at the photos on eBay it says sweet armour on the side but that doesn't really mean much.

in Denmark, with the GS2 AND alu cover the gsm/3g reception is fine!
ONLY need to peel back cover off for it to find GPS sattelites and then put it back on.
