Doesn't look like it protects the top or bottom though.
Just got one on eBay for under $18 and free shipping. Should get here by next week. I will post a quick review after I try it out.
I wonder if there the same as the tmobile version they have a few cases
do not like it standing straight up.

Thats not what she said...
I just picked up one of these a couple hours ago at a local sprint shack. I do wish it had a bit more coverage, specifically top and bottom. But I've found (through multiple drops already) that the phone itself is pretty sturdy, it's just that the battery cover pops off way too easy, which usually equals battery popping out as well. So this case will do what I mainly want, which is to keep the battery in And I think the kickstand will be useful!
i just saw one hands on for a co-workers phone. i actually like it. found it on amazon for $15.93 (free shipping) and ebay for $13.99 (free shipping). i like the white case-mate pop, but this seems a bit thinner with a better kick-stand.
Just bought one off ebay for 13.99. I have the pop case which I like, but it is too thick
I ordered mine from Amazon, $13.26 with free shipping. will give feedback once received.
Got mine the other day (my 7th case for the touch...). It doesn't cover the top or bottom very well but it is thinner than the casemate pop case. If you want thin and a kickstand, this is the way to go.
Like mine, it stands up fine on its side (landscape).
I wish there was a non-textures version
mine arrived yesterday and so far I really like it. was surprised at how nice it looks too, very sleek but still the manly style. the kickstand is sturdy and due to the size, my phone still fits the same leather holster and the garmin windshield holder.

Which holster are you using?

this is the exact one I'm using... will likely always use this brand as they make good quality products.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002QQED5O
they have it in all black as well, just search around on Amazon.
This case also fits in the seidio surface holster as well.
FYI for anyone interested in this case. I just ordered one on ebay for $8.99 with free shipping. It is on "Sale" from $9.99 for the next 6 days (until 12/19/11?) according to the ebay post.
Just search on ebay for "Body Glove Samsung Epic 4G Touch". The pic shows the gray version but the model number is correct and it only comes in black for the ET4G.
I got the cibo s case but thinking maybe cancel that and get this. how much thickness does it add?
I just got this case yesterday, and so far I'm pleased with the sturdiness and build. It does add some bulk to the back of the phone. On the phone without a case, the bottom back of the phone sticks out more versus the top of the phone. With this case, it now has a flat back with a little more girth. That will give you a sense of how much thickness the case adds to the phone. Hope that makes sense.
I do wish this case was a little grippier (if that's a word). Still a little slick in my hands, but easy to get in and out of my pockets. Overall, I'm please with this case, especially for the price. My main thing I needed in a case was the kickstand. My son watches shows on my phone when we are out and it makes it so much more convenient with this case.

just got the body glove case in the mail, the kickstand is a really useful feature but I feel the cibo s case offers much better grip since it has a cross hash pattern on the edges. I say protection wise it's better also because the top/bottom are not open (and I suspect if the phone were to ever fall, it would pop out of the body glove). the extra thickness is not a problem though.
Hello all,
I have bought a Casemate tough case and received it today and made a quick video on youtube about how it looks and feels on my channel.
In summary it is a fantastic case and the only drawback is the fact that it hand't been released earlier.

How thick does it make the device now?
It's not actually that bad to be honest. It gives it a "nice and comfortable" feel

How about when you put it in your pocket? is it still comfortable in there? I use TPU cases right now, and they're fairly slim as they are. But I never feel comfortable with them if I were to drop my device. They're just good for scratches, not for falls (which never happens, but I'm sure it will happen sooner or later).

It fits into my pocket alright a nice fit without making it look like i am "excited" . I am 6'2" however so my pockets might be slightly bigger. With this I literally have no worries about it dropping. I probably don't even need the screen protector on the device.
If you look on my youtube channel there is another case review up from casemate too and the phone does seem just as secure without the added bulk.

Depends how big...a slight raise and you might just get away with it but an extended battery like a 4500mAh then no...This case is designed exactly for the normal battery with a tiny tiny bit of room if any
Nice lookin' case, shame it's only in black
nice case there, the only thing is it adds so much bulk to the note, that's my only concern with this case...

I see what you mean but I don't mind it as the phone is big already.
I just love the case because it is soooo comfortable to hold. I had it on my GS2 and I couldn't wait until casemate released it.
It would be worth trying it if you get the chance you won't regret it

Sure mate, might buy it later i guess...
Its always good to have choices..
I have a TPU gel S-Line wave case on my Note right now.
I intend to buy the Case Mate Tough, but there are some things I want to ask you about.
How does it feel when you press the power / volume buttons? I mean... do you feel it, or it's like... erm... dang. The feedback, is it good or bad?
Also, how "slippery" is it on the top/bottom edges (where the polycarbonate shell isn't holding it as tight as on the sides)? Bad enough to "slip" off a bit when you take it out of a tight pocket, or even when you drop it...?
---------- Post added at 11:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:57 PM ----------
Oh and one more thing (not likely to be the last )... Did you get a screen protector inside the package? The store where I'm about to buy it from claims there is one in the package, although they don't mention whether it's made by Case-Mate (do they actually do screen protectos?) or some other firm, or if it's clear or matte or whatever...
The feeling is really good I loved it. The button feedback is great. I buy tough cases for all my phones as I love how they feel. The buttons are easy to press and the phone stays clean without any dirt getting in between the phone and the case.
With regards to screen protector, no there wasn't one and I am not aware that casmate do do any screen protectors. I usually go for zagg ones as I like them the most.

Thank you for the answer!
Then the store that is selling the case probably includes a crappy screen protector in themselves . Or CaseMate started to add this recently... who knows.
I'll buy it on wednesday. Hope I don't get one that has askew cut-outs and such, haha .
My case arrived just today!
It had a screen protector in the package... which was probably added by the shop, since the package was not sealed anymore and... oh well...
The screen protector was probably good, at least as good as those cheap ones you can get for a dollar a piece, but I f**ked up at installing it. I was planning to go down to a shop and buy a 3M Vikuiti screen protector (the vendor installed it, perfectly), anyway.
-----
The case is... well, it's bulky! It's really good, but installing it is a bit... well, it's hard. I did some drop tests with it, and the buttons were slightly off, also the lip... required some extensive pulling-with-teeth .
I'm dissapointed by the fact that they didn't add a few extra stripes of ABS on the top and bottom.... without those, those two sides are flimsy and easy to get off, you know... Anyway.
Also, the hard shell doesn't perfectly fit over the silicone glove, at least on the top side... but it's good enough.
For this kind of price, I was expecting utmost perfection, but it's good . To be honest, the S-Line wave TPU case I had before felt better in hand - also had better grip. Or perhaps I just need some time to adjust to this new case...
Also, hate how the silicone is a dust magnet.
-----
Anyway, this case is overall good. Definetly protects the phone well .
I used the case-mate tough case back when I had my Galaxy S and loved it! It offered outstanding protection from bumps and knocks so I purchased the case again for my Note. Used it for a few months but have since moved to the Mercury case. What made me change was the difficulty I had taking the phone out of my pockets. The textured surface of the case is nice to hold and feels good but it's too clingy to clothing, magnified by the size of the case's surface area ( probably why I never had the same problem with my Galaxy S). Still use it every now and again though.

The Mercury case seems to be a jelly case?
And it doesn't even cover the buttons...
Oh well. You should have bought the CUBZ S-Line wave TPU case instead, it's more good looking
I'm looking to get a case for my SGS2, i picked it up locally on CL a few weeks ago and the film that was on the back cover is starting to get messed up, figure I should just get a case.
Anyhow, i'm looking for a case that is easy going in and out of the pocket (a must, its why i have left the film on it, nice and easy out of the pocket), dot need or care about kickstand, and looking to get it on amazon, been looking at all the cases i could find on amazon and came up with two that i think fit the bill, any one have experience with them?

The Aegis case is great (not sure about the Fishbone one though), can't really go wrong.
I would probably go with this one;
http://www.amazon.com/Seidio-CSK3SS..._1_3?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1332720616&sr=1-3
As for skins, don't bother with full skin. If you want a screen protector, Invisishield is excellent, my brother has it on his International S2 and it's very clear and nice, he loves it.
Personally I don't use a screen protector on mine, no issues with scratches whatsoever, not even fine scratches.
Yeah, if you want a good screen/case combo, can't go wrong with Aegis or my preference the Seidio case and invisishield screen protector.
i know when i had the Seido Activ case for my Nexus S it was a bit "grippy" and pulled my pocket out when brining the phone out (slight annoyance), is that one the same?
Having the film is more for the back/sides protection, i saw some threads about how some cases can scratch it up.

For the skin, I would recommend a Ghost Armor one. I just got mine and I'm in love with it. You can barely notice the screen protector is on it, and it works great. Also the texture of the carbon fiber feels great and will keep your phone looking and feeling just like new.
What about this one:

http://www.amazon.com/Premium-Hybrid-Silicone-Durable-Kickstand/dp/B0070DGQW6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1332729809&sr=8-1
im using the sedio active case with clip. not too bulky and easy goes in and out of pocket.
but if you wear skinny jeans like some of these kids nowadays then go with the thinnest case possible.
ended up getting the fishbone one, will update when it shows up (it was @ the $10 mark which i had a gift card on amazon for that amount)
i didnt care for the fishbone case. i have a black one and i dont like the way it feels and it seems to kinda pick up lint in my pocket. i have one pretty much new just sitting here lol. i like this case the best.

The Best Case Ever
The 3DO impact resistant case that Tmobile sells is the best case for any cell phone I have ever seen. It doesn't hang up on clothing like other gel cases and the 3DO technology is outstanding. You must see this case to believe how great it is. Meanwhile check out the videos here and on YouTube (search 3DO)
http://bit.ly/f2gHRk
In my opinion this case is worth every penny and then some. It feels awesome in the hand, doesn't hang up in a pocket and offers superb impact protection.
Has anyone bought or tried this case? in looks very interesting as its so thin it may be comparable to buying something like the Bodyguardz skins without the hassle of sticking that stuff on.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1mm-Ultra...sesPouches&hash=item4165054cf6#ht_2462wt_1168
Got a few days ago, pretty good, very very thin but slippery. Did a quick video to show it in action.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KG2HBa-62Rc
i've got one. its about 0.5mm thick in some parts, so the only thing its good for is protecting the phone's body from scratches. it offers no drop protection, and no camera protection, and its not grippy either.
i prefer my ringke slim case and my anymode pebble jelly case, theyre grippy and dont add much bulk, and offer decent protection for the corners of the phone (if you drop your phone, its more likely to land on a corner) and it goes slightly over the edges of the screen, so if your phone does land face first, the glass is less likely to touch the ground, making it less likely to shatter.
Thanks Souai, I had the ringke for my galaxy s2 and i found that after a while it started stretching out and not fit the phone properly. The reason why im so keen on these ultra thin ones is more as an alternative is the skin shields. ill check out the pebble case though.
looks similar to the Case Mate Barely There.

i have the Original Moshi Back Cover for my Note. man the Grip is awesome! really! i mean i have the white Note and u know the white Note has different back cover than the Black one. its so shinny and slippery! but this Moshi cover gives me the real grip! got that for about Rs 5000 (approx US $ 54), but its worth the money!

$54 seems a a lot for a case, the 1mm is just $4 including delivery.
lol 5000 INR is not 54$ its more than 100$ to my knowledge and also that for a case is too much IMHO...
Anyway I would have bought one if it was sold from Amazon . Looks nice
Yeah, I hate ebay and their bloody fees, Ive ordered one though , it'll take a few weeks for it to arrive, ill report back then.

I ordered some from ebay (the seller sold them in pairs) - one was cracked from the start and unusable, and the other was slightly warped from being stuffed in the padded envelope. I found them to be not very grippy, and the cut-out for the m/usb was quite sharp, and being as I rest the Note on my little finger when I hold it one-handed, painful!
Hope you have better luck than I did - I just use the Note bare-back now!

Every time i buy a new phone get into a mad rush to buy cases for it, i use them for a week or two then ditch them because I prefer to use the phone bare, i'll probably do the same as you Towserspvm2000, but at below 3 quid a pop im not going to be losing out on much if it is crappy.
Just got this case from China. I like it. Simple and almost like it is bare. Only issue is the buttons are a little harder to push. But not a deal breaker. This is my third case. thinnest and the lightest. Not bad for $4US. Just got to make sure I don't drop it. More for scratch protection than anything.
hey guys, got the case and its pretty good but bloody slippery. Put up a youtube video to show it in action.

I dont think there is one that adds a kickstand without adding some bulk
I picked up:
http://www.case-mate.com/Samsung-Ga...te-Samsung-Galaxy-S3-Pop-with-Stand-Cases.asp
From Amazon UK
Attached an image to give you an idea of how much bulk it adds, hope it helps. The case feels great and offers good protection.
The kickstand, although it feels flimsy, supports the phone perfectly (at least for now).
I just got this one, Doesnt add any more bulk than a standard TPU case except for the two little hinge bumps
http://www.ebay.com/itm/180934530324
a couple other pics:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Clear-Soft-...932810?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3a77f957ca
I got clear because I love the color of my phone but they have different colors available. It doesnt add any extra bulk as the standard S line tpu cases except what I said before the two little hinge bumps
I think this case looks phenominal imho. Nice and slim and comes with a holster clipto protect the front.

ive always been a fan of the active cases. this is certainly a more sturdy option, i think the build quality and fit is really good.
its probably on the thinner side of kickstand cases while still offering some good protection.

looks to be the same one I posted above except the ebay one doesn't appear to come with the holster.
Sad, because it really is practically a perfect case with the holster.
