The UrbanShield Brushed Aluminium Case for Samsung Galaxy S2 comes with a really nice looking back made from brushed aluminum and rubberized sides, for offering a good grip. With the case installed, the phone still remains light and slim and for added value, the manufacturer has also included a screen protector, with the usual soft wipe cloth and squeegee.
At first I would like to thank Cygnett for offering a sample of their UrbanShield Brushed Aluminium Case (Samsung Galaxy S2) for testing and reviewing.

The UrbanShield case for Samsung Galaxy S2 from Cygnett comes shipped inside a small, transparent plastic enclosure, with the reminder that the product includes a screen protector; a tiny orifice is also provided so we can feel the texture from the back of the case, without unsealing the box:
On the back, we can find some of the product highlights listed, in multiple languages:
After getting the contents out, we will find a leaflet containing information regarding warranty:
The UrbanShield case is filled initially with a dummy cardboard enclosure, containing the rest of the bundle:
The bundle we were talking about earlier is composed from a single screen protector, one squeegee and also a soft wipe cloth:
The case comes with a brushed aluminum back and the laterals, along with the bottom are rubberized, to offer a good grip and a nice feel to the touch:
The bottom side has cuts for the speaker and the Data/Charge connector:
The left side comes with the spaces left for the Volume rocker and the orifice where we can attach the lanyard:
On the top we will see the distinct cut for the 3.5mm jack:
Also, the other lateral comes with the cut for On/Off/Sleep button:
When looking from the inside, we can find the same rubberized surface, along with a debossed manufacturer logo and website address:
We do not need special instructions to fit the phone into the case because it is really simple (we only have to slide it in and it will stay fixed)
Here are some views of the case openings with the phone installed:

The UrbanSheild for Samsung Galaxy S2 case from Cygnett gives us enough protection on the back and laterals, while maintaining a sexy look. The brushed aluminium back is really stunning and thanks to the smooth rubberized laterals, the phone will not stick to the interior fabric of our pockets, like other cases use to do.
The frontal side of the case is a little raised, so when we put the phone on the table with the screen facing down, it won’t touch the table surface or scratch the screen frame. The only areas that are not fully protected are the bottom and top sides of the phone, which have available the 3.5mm jack, Data/Charge port, along with the microphones.
The product also ships with a protective screen, a small soft wipe cloth to clean the glass before applying the product, and also a squeegee for eliminating the air bubbles.
The UrbanShield case can be found at online stores for about 20.5 Euros.
I would like to thank again to Cygnett for making this review possible!
