The cheap eBay Bumper case I posted about on another board arrived today and it looks quite good until you pick it up and notice how thin and light it is which kind of goes hand in hand with it's massively small £3 price. It does the job fine on a S2 with the stock battery though but with extended battery the lip surrounding the front bezel is less pronounced.
It is not great with the Zenis dock either as it doesn't sit flush whereas the Zenis one does. I was expecting it to fit fine but the bottom is not sitting nicely like the Walnutt bumper does.
So far I think the Walnutt case looks the best and also feels like it's worth some ££ too. I especially like the lip bearing the Walnutt brand name on the back, it kind of completes an otherwise baron backside, something that the SGP NeoHybrid EX bumper lacks although I'm sure the SGP feels every bit as good and expensive as the Walnutt ones.
Considering the Walnutt bumper is thicker than the cheap eBay one I was surprised it was exactly the same thickness when put on the phone, I put it on my dad's S2 with stock battery to compare in the pics below.

Wow 10 pounds for shipping to Spain! What a RIP OFF. I'll write the seller and see what he says. I doubt though that he'll change the price. I've had books and computer parts delivered for less!

Nice! How does it feel in hand?

feels nice and it has a lot more grip to it.
Does it collect a lot of dust?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Why would it collect dust ? never herd of any cases that collect.
The only problem with these type cases is the clear ones tend to turn yellow in a few months, the colored ones don't
now they have 7 cases, for only 17.99 great deal

Thank you Siberslug!
Just bought myself a case after seeing your thread. Thanks for posting!
My Vibrant gets here tomorrow, I'm even more excited now!
Welcome! The edges are more sturdy than the t-mobile case is, but the center is still flimsy.
It is also not nearly as sticky as the t-mobile case, which is a GOOD thing to me. It still has a grip to it, but it isn't so difficult to stick in my pocket (or pull back out)
I just received mine today...
This is the one I bought:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Black-Gel-Case-...ewItem&pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item5d2a05dbdb
I was worried that it would be a loose fit but it fits very snugly on to the phone. You have to try very hard to pry it off, which is good!
It's more plastic like than it is a gel like material but it feels very nice in your hands. The feel of it will get smoother after a few days of use once all the oils from my skin get onto it.
I ordered it on 7/19 and received it today on 7/26 and paid $2.98 for everything!
Just buy it in TMO + the screen protector. Pfft. I spent 600 on the phone. another 40 bucks for a case + screen protector. is nothng.
Heard some concerns about the fit of skins such as the 'barely there'. Want to order one soon and was wondering what opinions are now that some time has passed.
I want a skin to protect the back from scratching or chipping from small falls, not enough to protect it from a hammer! Don't want to make the phone too bulky and will be using an Xoskin on the front.
Lots of TPU skins out there already. Quick and dirty way to see what's available is to do a search on Amazon. Diztronic seems to be an early favorite.
Search for diztronic on amazon UK comes up with:
Minisuit
Is that what you meant?
i got the s-curve one from ebay for 3 bucks (same as the minisuit one, sometimes goes under the name of qubits) and it's pretty slim. i also ordered the nilikin one to see if it's any thinner or snugger, because i didn't think the s-curve one was snug enough. i don't like the diztronic one because it has some extra cutouts (ie for the power button) which means a little less protection

Looks decent but I prefer when the top and bottom of the phone are protected as well. I mean if you are gonna bulk it up why not cover the whole thing? Doesn't that thing slip off fairly easily?
Anybody purchased a plain ole thin, lightweight tpu case for their Note? Recommendations? I see one for sale on ebay, but it's only shipping from China right now.
I plan on using my Note in a Ram Mount in my car, so I don't want a flip cover, or anything too heavy. It needs to be grippy/sticky so it will stay put in the Ram mount too.
Update: I found this one on ebay today and bought it. Will let you know how it is.

Nice, I just ordered this too. I have a Fosmon TPU case for my Nexus 7 and it's excellent.
Awesome, thanks for the info, Colchiro and 30Seconds. I was not familiar with the manufacturer.

For us Canadians, Amazon Canada has the same case linked by jkwjkw, but with free shipping instead of the $11 shipping with eBay (for me at least, in Ontario). Shipped and sold by theWireless USA, who I've bought from before several times and had no troubles.
(Sorry, can't post links yet. Just search on Amazon Canada "Fosmon Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 case" and you'll see it, sold by theWireless USA).
Seriously, love me some TPU cases. Especially for a tablet like the note, where I have to lay it flat on a table to write on, I have to tape the camera lens so it doesn't get scratched. I have a folio cover case as well, but I find it lifts the tablet too far off the table if I try to lay it flat. Looks like this TPU case is the answer.
Got my case today, and love it. Perfect fit, all of the holes line up, case is snug, and it's lightweight. Recommended!

Can you post some pics
Just bought one of these for £2.99, it arrived in 2 days, and I got to say, it is beautiful. Feels so nice to use on my OPO. The picture really doesn't do it justice. I actually prefer it to the original sandstone touch.

I have bought from them for all my phones that they do the cases for. It feels almost like silk.

Stumbled upon a review on youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q43HYVeiiPo
and on amazon http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00MPIC9KO/ref=cm_sw_su_dp
Be careful with the generic back cover cases..
I ordered 2 cases similar to these, a red one and white one. The white one fits poorly so i sent it back. The red one fits nicely but after a week i took my phone out of the case and saw that it left red paint on the back of my sandstone black cover..GRRRR. So be warned about these cheap generic cases. I put tape on the inside of the case to prevent any more paint coming off onto my phone. This is my first 5.5" phone and i fumble it alot but only dropped it twice but these case will not prevent your phone from being chipped, as expected since it's not a full cover. I'm waiting for my new case which is a full shock protection case.
Doesn't look any different then the xtremeguard case that I bought for way cheaper.
$3.99 plus $1.49 carbon fiber back vinyl = $5.48 free shipping

Here are the pics of the Zizo case...fits nice and snug...feels really durable...not too sure about the tempered glass, seems like its not sticking on the the edges--it does have almost full coverage minus the camera...maybe thats why its NOT sticking well..
How do you like the Spigen?
I love it...provides good protection and feels great in the hands...very thin as well

Using spigen, is it hard to press on volume buttons?
No issues with the volume button...
I have the Zizo case as well. I don't like it. First person to PM me can have it. I'll ship it this Saturday and pay shipping to you.
*Tempered glass not included
My Zizo case came yesterday. I don't think I like it. It's ok but I like my cheap pink one better.
(this one) http://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/accessories/cheap-case-t3489690/page1
I got the green/clear Zizo. I don't like the way the clear tpu sticks to the back (that wet look) and the green color wasn't as nice as it looked in the pictures online. Just plain lime green.
It's an interesting case though. Fits well. I'm probably just biased because I'm already used to the pink one.
Well, just got my 2.99 obliq flex pro from the Mailman... I'll see how I like that one next!

I like my Spigen one better...but I just want the protection...I dropped my Note 7 shortly after receiving the 2nd recalled version and it got a tiny scratch on the screen...fortunately I had to return it anyways lol...Now I dont want to chance this V20 getting a nick...
Oops missed this thread, I started another for the Spigen Rugged. Excellent case for $12 on Amazon Prime. Good balance between light and still protective.
